How the performing arts can teach kids concepts in science
The second graders begin using their body movements to demonstrate how the snowman turns to liquid from the heat. As the kids wiggle their way up and down to the floor and get creative with their responses, they are experiencing hands-on learning and mastering one of the State of North Carolina’s science standards. It’s all part of an innovative program called Theatre in Education.
Wake Forest University is collaborating with Speas Elementary and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools for the initiative.
Sixteen WFU education and theater students are working with seven classes of Speas second graders this spring using the performing arts to teach lessons on weather patterns, the properties of liquids and solids and other science topics.
