"STArt! teaching Science Through Art" by Susana Maria Halpine discusses a program using an artist-in-residence format that provides in-service classroom presentations for grades one through twelve, based on content standards and teacher input. Molecular visualization is taught using narrative discussions, handheld models, visualization software, and art workshops. The third-grade workshop topics range from chlorophyll to fuel cells. In the foreground, third graders from the Coeur d'Alene Avenue Elementary School in Venice, California look under the hood of a fuel-cell powered car. The background artwork shows a "Rainbow Limousine Fuel Cell Car", designed by a third-grade student as part of a "Cars of the Future" workshop, and "Water Molecules in Rain Drops", drawn by a third-grade student as part of a "Molecules in the Food Chain" workshop.
