Incorporating poetry, such as haikus, into teaching various scientific occurrences will not only create a more creative learning environment but also reach a broader and more diverse audience. Learners that might not excel at sciences may end up being inspired when art is involved.
Another aspect relevant to this article is the benefits that outside walkings through nature brings to a classroom of diverse learners.

I thought that this was such a cool idea. I had never thought of incorporating science and haiku's and meshing the two into one. The students have to write down their observations from the different activities provided in the article. Once they have their observations, they have to try to reword them to make them fit into the haiku format. They also have to figure out synonyms to certain words that make their observations sound more eloquent but still accurate. This involves a higher level of thinking and creativity.
