Abstract

The traditional scientific curriculum presented in schools limits students’ ability to make creative connections with their work and develop critical thinking skills. This often leads to students not fully engaging in their learning and risks their ability to engage with science in a holistic way. Integrated curriculum combines different domains of learning that emphasize creative expression such as art with those that focus on abstract concepts and natural phenomena such as scientific learning. An Integrated science and art curriculum fosters deeper engagements and personal connection to their learning. Given the potential integrated curriculum has to foster scientific learning, I created an integrated physics and music curriculum and delivered it to 5th and 6th-grade classes at Monterey Bay Charter Elementary.
