My students need headphones to get silently active! With headphones, my students will be able to participate in silent dances on a daily basis in a fun way to promote exercise in science class.

My Students
In a room surrounded by animals and plants, my students enter our jungle of a classroom engulfed by science. The classroom is designed for exploration through research and learning, via hands-on activities. By the end of the year, I want my students to be at the forefront of a STEM education.
Each student is unique in his/her own way, which makes learning that much more special.
My students love learning about the ever-changing world of science and are captured by the fact that every day brings new discoveries in science. The school is a welcoming environment, that encourages higher-level learning, while supporting the students at every step. The school houses over 1400 middle school students, who come from different ethnic backgrounds. In order to strengthen their learning experience, I want my students to utilize all the possible resources I can provide for them.
My Project
In science, we discuss about the importance of being active to be healthier. My students once questioned me about why they have to stay seated for so long if being active is good for our health. They were right! So, we decided to end each class with a few minutes of dancing to stay active! However, many of them become shy to get moving. They asked for headphones so we could have silent dance party where everyone looked silly and no one would feel out of place. The idea would be that they would all dance to the music of their choice.
Headphones will allow every students to get silently active without the fear of looking silly.
Silent dance parties to end our class will promote movement every day. Students will be able to stay active throughout the day and lead healthier lives.
