My Co-op Biology class is making polymer clay models with their Paper Dissections. Clay is a versatile material for science. The last time I taught Human Anatomy, I ran across Anatomy in Clay. (Here are free resources from Anatomy in Clay. They do require registration.) We made a number of organs with clay. Additionally, kids can use clay to make Cell Models. Here and here is a cross curricular lesson between microbiology and art. Take a look at Scholastic’s Germ Learning lesson. Make the Layers of Earth or Landforms in clay. Make your own clay! This is another science lesson. Compare the properties of Play-doh with different recipes for homemade clay. Right now my Co-op Bio class is going to finish Porifera models and start Cnidaria.
