Program Description
BodyVox residencies specialize in making popular science curricula vibrant for young learners. Our Making Science Dance series is an adaptable residency of the topics below, including:
Making Plants Dance (Grades K-2): Students will explore concepts of seed germination, plant development, and pollination as they develop choreography with a partner that explores the forces, directions and relationships present in the life cycle of plants.
Making the Solar System Dance (Grades 3-5): In this residency students will generate choreography that explores the forces, pathways, and relationships present in the solar system. Through dance improvisation and working with a partner, concepts of rotation, axis, gravity, and orbit are explored.
Making Physics Dance (Grades 6-8): In Making Physics Dance, students will explore dance as both an art and a science while developing their own choreography. Students will analyze and measure motion in terms of reference point, speed and velocity - drawing connections with basic principles of Physical Science. Dance improvisation and group work allows students to use their own bodies as a tool for discovering and understanding the science of motion. At the residency's conclusion each partner group will have the opportunity to perform their original choreography for their classmates.
