Available through the NSTA, two sourcebooks, one for grades K-6 and one for grades 5-10, integrate art and science concepts and processes in creative art activities. Each book contains 30 lessons organized around three themes: structure, interactions, and energy. The activities include drawing, painting, sculpture, bas-relief, printmaking, collage, graphic arts and mixed media.

Actually you should take a look at NSTA's full catalog; "Teaching Physical Science Through Children's Literature," for instance, is full of hands-on lessons. You don't have to be a member to order resources.

These resources mesh nicely with the integrated approach to science curriculum in this library, particularly science and multimedia.
