The integration of art and science provides a holistic approach to learning, fostering creativity and enhancing understanding.
The activity was a unique and interdisciplinary educational initiative that seamlessly integrated science and history through two engaging activities – a model-making exercise and a historical roleplay. By combining hands-on creation with imaginative characters, students embarked on a journey that bridges the realms of invention, scientific discovery, and historical context.
By integrating art and role-play into the exploration of Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment, students not only gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts but also immerse themselves in the historical context.
The students also constructed a functional model of a seismograph which infused creativity into the learning process.
