Abstract

The Artistic Biochemistry is a kind of creative fusion subjects based on 100% performance evaluation. This subjects helps students understand the core concepts of Life science and Chemistry by dealing with phenomena and by challenging the problems related with Life science and Chemistry. It aims to make students interested in Life science, Chemistry and why they study these subjects. To do this, we organize classes by experimenting with life and chemical phenomena, discussing the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Chemistry, and explaining the phenomena by the core concepts of Life science and Chemistry. One of them is a biomimetic phenomena lesson, which allows students to experiment with the Lotus effect. It also makes the students propose the invention items that can be used innovatively in everyday life by using the Lotus effect and to write the booth proposal that introduces the Lotus effect to the public. And this lesson makes the students take photographs of the beautiful phenomenon observed in the Lotus effect experiment and cheers them up to exhibit at a science photo contest. We intended the students to feel the beauty in the science phenomenon. We would like to introduce the practical examples of the class including this.
