Units

Science of Art is an interdisciplinary program that teaches core science concepts through the arts. We offer this program to selected schools in the consortium for six weeks during the academic year. A Museum of Glass art educator teaches a lesson in the classroom prior to the Museum visit. The Science of Art program presents an informative, exciting curriculum meeting EALRs and GLEs to enhance student learning opportunities.
