Project 6 — Study various dance forms - Tissues in Action

Project 6

Study various dance forms of different tribal communities across the country. Each student learn and experience at least five steps. Observe the joint movements involved in performing these steps and then develop a dance or drama on the concept of joint movements. Perform this at the school’s annual function so that students from different grades can learn from it.

Pick dance forms such as Bihu, Ghoomar, Santhali or Bhangra and learn five steps of each. While practising, note which joints do the work: the hinge joints at the knees and elbows bend and straighten, the ball-and-socket joints at the shoulders and hips swing the limbs in circles, and the pivot joint in the neck turns the head side to side.

Build a short dance-drama in which each movement highlights one joint type, and present it at the annual function so younger students can see how joints make movement possible.

💭 The Quest Continues …

Will it be possible to obtain a complete animal from an animal cell like plants? If yes, what would be the advantages and challenges of this development?
It may become possible through advanced cloning and stem-cell methods. The advantages could be saving endangered animals and producing tissues for treatment; the challenges include the difficulty that most animal cells are not totipotent, plus serious ethical and safety concerns.
