Banana Tattoo

Banana Tattoo
Some art projects provide great opportunities to explain interesting scientific concepts. The Banana Tattoo is a perfect example of this. Third graders create unique artwork by tattooing drawings onto the skin of a banana. Creative ideas work best, like drawing a smiling mouth on one banana or spreading a single drawing over an entire bunch of bananas. While waiting for the tattoos to show up on the banana skins, teachers can explain the science behind the browning of banana peels.
