Looking for ways to encourage your technically skilled budding scientists to translate their mastery to the science of everyday life? This session begins by examining a number of contemporary collaborations between artists and scientists and shows how these have impacted what we understand as the main qualities of the kind of creative thought necessary for scientific discovery. Strategies for teaching these identified qualities of creativity in the classroom by bringing art and science together in a single curriculum are discussed. Audience members leave the session with a curricular framework to introduce into their elementary school science classrooms.
