Cross-disciplines

Some people might think that teachers should only teach content within those core classes- appropriate topics generally associated with those core classes. I think that content within all classes are connected in some way. I taught about art when discussing fractal science and geography when talking about biomes. And of course literacy across all disciplines. What are some ways you could incorporate science into some of your disciplines?

Example: Sound waves created when strumming a guitar (standing wave). The study of acoustics can be incorporated into both science and music.

  1. In business, its pretty easy to incorporate a lot of social science, particulary when discussing economic issues. Similarly, when discussing natural resources and various economies, life science topics also come into play.
