Visualization in Biology: An Aquatic Case Study
Abstract
This chapter deals with what are commonly called seaweed, but are more correctly termed algae, that is, photosynthetic organisms that live in aquatic environments. Algae are visually beautiful and therefore a good subject for a biology teacher looking to explore the intersection of art and science with students. These connections run deep into knowledge production because drawing is fundamental not only to communicating information about organisms but also to investigating their characteristics. Observation and comparison are key tools in learning about the living world, and drawing is essential to these processes. Also discussed here will be the importance of relating texts, photographs, specimens, and drawings in assisting students to learn about algae. In addition, online sources for these tools will be explored.
