Art in Science

Art in Science is part of the Smithsonian Science Stories Literacy Series. Art in Science features short stories that pair with the module, How Can We Change Solids and Liquids? Both are aligned to grade 2 standards and have a focus on science and engineering. In Art in Science, students will read about materials people use to make paint, pottery, and jewelry and the properties of the materials that show how art ties to science. 


Art in Science includes the following features: 

• Stories that focus on the role of science in creating and protecting artwork

• Stories that highlight STEM careers

• Incorporation of images of artwork from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, and Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture 

• On-grade and below-grade formats
