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?
