Individual Thoughts/ Science and Humanities

How can I use Things/practices from other classes in science?

I would use the whole idea of learning is inquiry and intergrate it into science through unit/theme lessons. For instance, I am teaching a history lesson on the United States.

Example: Theme- Flowers

State flowers- Identify the flowers for each state. Why is this flower identified with this state?

Art- Draw the stages of the growth of the flower. Discuss the differences in how it stage looks before it gets to the final product. (a beautiful flower)

Science-What are the stages in how flowers grow? What are the parts of a flower? Why does this flower grow in this particular state? Does the climate have anything to do with it?

Here is an interesting website:
