Minds in Motion: Bringing Science to Life through Creative Movement
Focus on: Grades K – 4
Course Number: TEWS707N
Children love to move — and they are curious about the natural world. Through this participatory class you will experience how to teach science concepts through creative movement, kinesthetic activities and dance. Learn how to use tableaux to reveal the sequence of transformation; create a journey to follow a life cycle; enter into a story to become a part of nature; construct bodily-kinesthetic activities to explain physical properties. Movement activities will address sound waves, life cycles, electricity, water, animals, seasons, weather, and more.
