Kathleen Butler, Dance, South Charlotte MS
Synopsis
This unit focuses on the integration of medicinal chemistry into the dance curriculum. Movement fosters retention of new material and is a perfect medium for kinesthetic learning. Students will learn about concepts related to medicinal chemistry and use dance to explain, and create a presentation about, what they have learned. They will participate in various activities that expand their knowledge of both dance and chemistry. As a culminating activity in this unit, students will investigate a particular kind of drug that they are likely to encounter in everyday life. These drugs include NSAIDs, bronchodilators, epinephrine, and antihistamines. They will utilize dance as a form of communication to express the effects of the specific drug in the body.
