Innovative Hands-on Activities for Middle School Science.

This paper contains some hands-on activities that relate science to art and language arts. The focus is placed on middle schools and activities engage students in the discovery that chemicals are used to draw and color. Students also read and write poetry and literature that employ science-related topics. A number of spin-off activities are suggested for both art and language arts that involve food dye, candy, and other easily available materials. (DDR)
