Drawing and Seeing to Remember

Drawing pictures and looking at images help us remember what we learn. When you see a new plant or animal, draw it in your notebook. Use colors to show details. Pictures make learning fun and help your brain remember information for longer.

Try making a picture chart for the weather or drawing the steps of an experiment. You can share your drawings with friends and family too!

Examples

  • Drawing the weather each day on a calendar.

  • Sketching a butterfly after seeing one outside.
