The third graders recently learned about scientific sketches, a tool used by scientists to record and communicate information, not to make art. Along with a drawing, a scientific sketch often includes labels and diagrams, questions and explanations. You don’t have to be an artist to create a successful scientific sketch. You simply have to take time, observe closely, and record what you see.
The third graders learned the criteria for a successful scientific sketch through the mnemonic: ABCDE
Scientific sketches should be:
- Accurate
- Big
- Colorful
- Detailed
- Explained
The third graders then used their careful observation skills and practiced sketching like scientists!
