Science and Art
I was recently reading the July/August, 2020 issue of \u201cScience and Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cScience 101\u201c column written by Matt Bobrowsky.\xa0 His article was entitled \u201cWhat\u2019s a Fun Activity that Combines Science with Art?\u201d
There are many connections between science and art, and one of the easiest to investigate, in school or at home, has to do with color.\xa0 The investigation works with coffee filter strips labeled with a black marker.\xa0 The coffee filters are then placed in water and the colors from the marker separate in the filter paper.\xa0 This investigation lets us see that there are different colors in a substance, such as tree leaves, which turn different colors in the fall.
