Applied Scientific Methods
Enter this Unit.	Intermediate Level: Grades 4-5 Intermediate Standard: Living and Nonliving Systems Explore formulas for color combinations using paints, soft crayons, colored transparent cellophane, or other mixable media. Formulate a hypothesis, conduct experiments, record findings, and draw conclusions based on results. (See Activities, Art.) Experiment with various color combinations to explore color intensity. (See Activities, Art.) Experiment with various color combinations to explore color balance. (See Activities, Art.) To complement study of the bright, bold colors used in Billboard, consider the purpose of color in living organisms (e.g., warning/peacock, attraction/cardinal), and using color as a theme, make a collage from images of different animals and plants. (See Activities, Science.) Discuss complementary colors found in nature and the purpose of these colors. (See Activities, Science.) Grow crystals from various formulas, draw the crystals, and discuss the kinds of lines and shapes that are evident. (See Activities, Science.)
