A study comparing standard teaching with Arts Integrated (AI) teaching of science subjects:

For examples, in one astronomy activity in the control condition, students traced the shapes of galaxies, wrote descriptions in notebooks, and shared them with the class. In the matched AI activity, students drew shapes on posters
and used dance movements to depict galaxy shapes in small performances.

As a good friend of mine said, in a similar situation, "I don't know, man".
