I've been reading the string about human interaction and exhibits. It's 
brought up a further question.  Does anyone know of studies that have tied 
movement/physical exertion with increased learning and understanding.  For 
example, dance classes being used to relate physics rather than 
lectures.  It seems that since a lot of informal science education is 
interactive/experience based, and hence inherently physical, this "hands 
on" side of learning might be a topic that's been studied.

any ideas?
