 * Typical Student Responses:
 * Question 1: How did you feel about the way you were taught this lesson?
 * Made me happy
 * It was fun.
 * Good because it is hands on.
 * I feel like I learned a lot and will remember this lesson when I need to.
 * It was very creative.
 * It was ok.
 * I thought it was pretty neat and really cool.
 * It wasn't bad but I didn't know how to respond. It was just really different.
 * I feel it was more fun than sitting at a desk.
 * It was an interesting way to learn.
 * I learned better than I would at a desk.
 * I liked it. It was a good method.
 * It was more fun than being in a classroom.
 * Having the presentations first helped (group PhotoStory) and so did having the installation art.
 * I feel that it was different and I don't really understand why there were people up on the stage.
 * I felt this was an effective lesson.
 * Question 2: How would you change this lesson to make it better?
 * I wouldn't change it because you are involved with the art.
 * Bigger area for the projection.
 * Longer
 * Wider
 * Both
 * The students obscured the pictures.
 * It should have the answer after the guess.
 * Nothing to change.
 * Make it more colorful.
 * The learning experience suffered from people blocking the view. If the box was larger and the students sood along side the wall, it would have been better.
 * I would make the room angled out.
 * Make it like a long tunnel.
 * The box was small and made me want to run out of the room screaming.


 * Administrative Responses (after observing student engagement with Installation Art):
 * "It was awesome!"
 * Students were shown a different perspective about art and science and how it connects across the curriculum.
 * Students were given "hands on" experience that they would never have received in a regular classroom.
