THE INTERACTION OF SCIENCE AND ART IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESSONS
Abstract
This paper examines the interdisciplinary connection between science and art in elementary school education, highlighting the value of merging creative and analytical thinking within the learning process. It explores how the integration of artistic and scientific methods contributes to the development of students’ cognitive abilities, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By including visual arts, music, and creative activities in science lessons, educators can inspire curiosity, stimulate imagination, and enhance students’ comprehension of scientific ideas. The study also presents practical strategies and examples of integrated lessons that encourage holistic learning and help shape well-rounded, adaptable learners.
