"Draw, as if explaining to a high school student, how the motions of large and small particles suspended in a fluid are affected by an increase in temperature of the fluid."

This assignment generated close to 110 student drawings. The above examples highlight the different ways in which students chose to visually explain the scientific concepts.

Detailed analysis of all student drawings are found in the PtL Database.
