7. Drawing Scientifically
Goal:
to record an image of the specimen observed
help you to remember the specimen
help you to remember the important features of the specimen to know what makes it unique and what it has in common with others.
Class expectations:
quietly get to work right away!
Be Focused on what we are doing!
Be respectful of others who are in class and are learning!
All electronics are off and out of sight if you don’t have my permission!

8. Why Draw? Drawing helps you remember.
How does drawing help you remember?
Drawing a specimen requires you to pay attention to detail so that you can re-create it on the sheet. While doing this, your brain is recording these same features in such a way that you can recall them if necessary (for example in an exam).
Simply observing pictures of specimens in a book or on a computer screen is less effective when it comes to remembering and understanding what you observed.
