Love how he mixes science with dance to help students understand an abstract idea. As more students come up to demonstrate their molecule dance, you can see that they are becoming engaged. The students have chances to express
concepts that they did not understand, but thanks to physically performing the task, they are able to connect their learning. Students who are on IEPs and special programs can understand the concept when doing the dance. By acting it out, students could explain the concepts to prove they understand the concepts. - commentary from a pre-service candidate
