Featured Presentation: The Playful Side of
Science

| What happens when engineers and rock stars work with
teachers to create learning materials? Can cakes play music? When we look at
science through a lens of play and the arts, we find new ways to engage our
students (and ourselves) in the subject matter. In this presentation, we'll look
at the unexpected ways that you can bring together fields like music and
computer programming, dance and physics, circus and sensors, and sculpting and
circuitry. Strategies for involving learners of all ages and unusual
collaborators will be discussed. |

In this short course, participants will discover ways to use physics and dance in parallel to help students understand science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts that apply to choreography as well as to engineering, and to science as well as to artistic performance. Although physics and dance or science and the arts each have important distinctions and different purposes, many practices such as investigating, modeling, and communicating; and crosscutting concepts like patterns, cause and effect, stability and change, etc. can be leveraged to engender significant student inquiry. In this workshop, we’ll demonstrate some activities, provide resources, and promote discussion for classroom application and future work that incorporates these integrated practices. All abilities and backgrounds welcome. |
