You will investigate how scientific illustrators use observable evidence to make subjects understandable, create and preserve an initial sketch, and practice improving visual clarity through peer feedback.

You will select an observable subject, refine a focused scientific question, and build a safe, repeatable method for examining texture, shape, relative size, or spatial relationships. You will test and revise your plan through peer feedback before adding the approved question-and-method plan to your mini portfolio.

You will use a consistent, safe observation method to create two dated evidence records of the same subject. You will document textures, shapes, relative sizes, and spatial relationships; exchange feedback with two peers; and organize your evidence for the next phase of drawing revision.

You will analyze your observation evidence, test drawing techniques, revise your scientific drawing through two rounds of peer feedback, and assemble a mini portfolio and reflection card for the expo.

You will rehearse an evidence-based explanation, improve it through peer feedback, and present your before-and-after scientific drawing display and mini portfolio to an invited guest.
