The Art of Science

This term in Science, our investigation is focused on the special adaptations of plants and animals which enable them to survive in their particular environment. We've explored the function of leaves and conducted experiments to help us understand why leaves on plants in deserts are very small compared to the leaves on rain forest trees. It's all about transpiration. In Art, the students have created some beautiful leaf drawings. They are currently creating patterns using microscope images of the stomata on a leaf to inspire them.
