It makes it harder to track what you're teaching but it's like a secret shortcut to the holy grail that is learning-more-than-one-thing-at-once.
Taking an example of a simple sound wave experiment here's how to cross-curricular it to the max.
LO : Be able to describe and draw sound waves with various amplitudes and frequencies.
Experiment : Fill 3-5 bottles with different amounts of water and tap the tops, drawing the sound waves for each one.
Hold on to your hats, your bonus teaching points are on their way ...
1. Maths - decide on your quantities (patterns/number lines), use a measuring jug to pour the water into each bottle (measuring)
2. Science - write or discuss a hypothesis, label your bottles
3. Art - add drops of food colouring to each bottle to create different colours
4. Music - compose a simple tune on your bottles
