Kevin Van Aelst

Back in school, I sucked at Math and Biology. I might have been an A student if I had a teacher like Kevin Van Aelst!! This New York Times Magazine photographer creatively uses mundane food and household clutter to depict Scientific and Mathematical concepts. These delightful images would certainly have jogged my memory!

Gummy chromosomes

Gummy Periodic Table of Elements

Finger prints are created with .....

cheese puffs

    I would've learned about chromosomes so much easier had they been gummy worms.

    That's my idea of learning!

    i'd like to have that kind of time to creat masterpieces like that. Good luck with your studies....i'm a teacher and sometimes i think of going back to school for a switch....but then the prereqs make me think twice.
