Inter/Act: How do I observe my world? (part 1)

In an eight-week, project-based-learning assignment, 4th and 5th graders at Cienega Elementary School learned to observe and question the natural world through the lens of both scientist and artist. They wrote, sketched, and documented their observations, as they explored the grounds in and around their neighborhood.

Using photography as a medium, the students deepened their awareness of the natural world by studying with both Museum scientists and an artist/photographer. The students participating in this after-school club produced a series of photographs, poetry and journal descriptions aimed at answering the essential question: How do I observe my world?
