Description
Embodied learning involves using the body during lessons in order to illustrate ideas and energize the audience. I discuss several embodied learning activities in which students play the role of atoms or electrons in a "force theater," to illustrate the microscopic interactions behind macroscopic models of forces (such as the normal force, friction, and tension) and other phenomena like electrical resistance.
This is an interactive presentation and will involve active participation from the audience.
