What if your students could become the Solar System?
Imagine teaching astronomy not just through diagrams and slides, but through movement, creativity, and embodied learning.
Join us this summer for Space in Schools – Science and Dance in Your Classroom, a unique workshop where science and the arts come together to make space concepts more engaging, memorable, and accessible for students. Teachers will explore ways to model planetary motion, understand shadows and the movement of the Sun, and bring astronomy concepts to life through dance and movement activities. (Facebook)
✨ Why teachers are excited about this workshop:
✔️ Hands-on, classroom-ready activities
✔️ Creative strategies for engaging diverse learners
✔️ Connections between STEM and the arts
✔️ Ideas you can use immediately with upper elementary and middle school students
✔️ Learn from experienced educators who are passionate about innovative teaching
As workshop leaders Dr. Joanne Pledger and Ruth Spencer shared in our recent Q&A, movement creates powerful opportunities for students to experience scientific concepts rather than simply memorizing them. This workshop is all about making learning active, joyful, and meaningful.
