How the performing arts can teach kids concepts in science
April 29, 2024 | Top Stories
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.
