Caption
Drawings created by university students after the instructions, “Draw, as if explaining to a high school student, how the motions of large and small particles suspended in a fluid are affected by an increase in temperature of the fluid.” The two related drawings on the left hand side demonstrate a greater understanding of concepts such as particle size and motion compared to the picture on the right hand side. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Aug. 26, 2011, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Shaaron Ainsworth of the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, UK, and colleagues was titled, "Drawing to Learn in Science.”
