Our program is designed to foster teamwork within the classroom. The workshop consists of activities in which students work together to build scenes and stories. The workshop begins with a brief discussion of the principles of improv, then the instructor leads warm up activities. After the warm up activities, the instructor leads the students through a series of exercises demonstrating the principle of interconnectedness in both biology and theater. The workshop will end with another brief discussion about the material covered. Our grade 4 improv science program focuses on how different features interact within an ecosystem, and our grade 5 improv science program focuses on how features interact and affect each other in an ecosystem. The exercises and activities increase in complexity as the grade of the learners increases.
