Early Childhood Dance & Science Parts 1 & 2
$190.00 – $350.00
Dance and science are connected. These interactive workshops investigate play-based dance activities that engage children’s curiosity and sense of discovery and support young learners as they ask questions and figure things out. References will be made to the Preschool Learning Foundations in Science and Creative Curriculum concepts. Take either workshop or both for deeper learning.
Part I: How do the skills of basic scientific inquiry – observing, comparing and contrasting, and experimenting – relate to dance? Discover and collaborate with colleagues to develop dance activities that explore life sciences (biology), body mechanics, animals and plants, lifecycles and metamorphosis. Learn strategies to extend children’s curiosity through creative movement that embraces their ideas.
Part II: Children investigate physical sciences (physics) and earth sciences through embodied play. Experience playful creative dance activities and lessons that explore the changing properties and motion of objects, earth materials, planets and weather that you can bring back and build upon in your teaching setting.
