Students don’t just study sound waves—they feel them, transforming vibrations into ripples of motion and bursts of energy with their bodies. Light becomes their dance partner as they experiment with how beams bend, bounce, and pass-through different materials. Working together, students embody the science of energy through creative movement structures—shaking like sound waves and rippling like rays of light. Through shape, level, and energy, they model the wavelengths and intensities of each color of the rainbow, bringing the hidden science of light to life in a joyful, collaborative dance of discovery.
