Concepts in Physics are made more interesting by combining inter-disciplinary concepts from art, movement, music, fundamental values and theater. This course will enable a set of students to create a storybook, script a play, complete with art, props, and background music score for a specific concept in physics. In this course, children will learn the concept of mass and gravity, gravitational pull by the earth, between planets and on the moon.
Course Format
Course Duration : 2 weeks. 2 Hour Sessions from Monday-Friday.
