Teachers looking for a way to scaffold students’ learning about complex science concepts through physical activities, may find the use of a science theater format a way to incorporate TPR (Total Physical Response). The authors describe some ways their students reenacted some complex science concepts by taking on the roles of various attributes involved in these scientific processes. The article provides details in how to practice Science Theater with one’s students in the classroom,

Using kinesthetic

By using some theater it helps students develop a model for molecular movement.
