Abstract

"To address this concern, this study explores three creative activities designed to teach students about Earth and space science and to allow them to explore and express their understanding in imaginative and subjective ways. The goal of these activities was to show students that creativity is an important quality in science with the hope that this would broaden their perceptions of the practice and learning of science and allow a wider variety of students to build a science identity."
