Experiential Physics

Thursday: Experiential Physics

In the second session of this course children will be presented with a series of escalating design challenges with the aim of boosting a child’s understanding of principles of physics and also creativity in the sphere of design. From egg drops to discussion of seed dispersal mechanisms and projectile motion, all physics principles are discussed in theory and then in practice, so children can gain tangible, physical knowledge that relates to their understanding. This class also introduces somatic work helping ground students in their bodies so that they can better harness creative energy and focus through improvisational games, physical exercises and guided movement flows, all created in tandem with the subject in question. This class is great for children who are constantly curious, love to build and never run out of questions. This class also helps children work on collaboration and building good group dynamics. Open to children in grades 2-6. Classes follow trimester schedule, beginning January 4th and ending March 25.
