LEARNING ABOUT ATOMIC MODELS WITH TURKISH MARBLE ART
Abstract
This study set out to introduce pre-service teachers to a visual and artistic teaching technique combining science and art that they could make use of in their science/physics classes to provide students with an entertaining lesson that achieves the learning of the considerably abstract concept of the model of the atom. In the light of this knowledge, the purpose of this paper is to introduce an active and entertaining example of teaching technique that brings science and art together by using the art of Turkish ebru, or paper marbling, which has been around for thousands of years, to make atomic models that have developed and evolved over the centuries. The primary approach of the study is to produce the atomic models of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr as well as modern atomic models with the art of marbling, using a fine-tipped metal tool called biz (awl) to drop different colors of pigment into water and then apply these colors to paper, creating marbling designs depicting the model of the atom.
