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, students will explore Matter, States of Matter, Matter changing from one form to the other, Particles, Affinity of Particles, Motion of Particles and more.
Course Format
7 classes in a center plus the final show.
Each Class will be 2 hours in duration.
The final production will be of a duration of 45 minutes.
