Abstract
-
I teach biology, fish and wildlife science, agriculture science, and social dance. What I would like to focus on for my project is how music, interactions, and physical activity (such as dance) help people with trouble focusing.
I will look at how music and physical activity cannot only help people focus but can increase the power of belief in themselves that allows them to focus. What I would like to do for my project is to pick a science-related project in the realm of my expertise like fish and wildlife, agriculture, etc., and figure out how to make a lesson plan that is designed to teach about the subject incorporating music and dance to help one’s focus and learning about the subject along with their motivation and self-belief.
I think it could be a useful tool to tie music and social interactions such as dance into learning a serious subject such as wildlife education and or agriculture education. The lesson will be an eight-lesson series that incorporates music and movement/physical activity into learning about physical science for a unit about motion.
