Big Question-Thoughts after the lesson
Draw or use a text box to explain how you THINK we use our muscular system when we dance. It's okay if you are unsure. We will try this again at the end of the lesson so that we can add to our understanding.
Task One
Squeeze a clothespin (or something like it) between your thumb and index finger. Count how many times you pinch and release the clothespin in one minute. After one minute, your partner will record how many times you squeeze the clothespin.
WITHOUT RESTING, continue squeezing the clothespin as fast as you can and count the number of squeezes. Record below.
Record your results on the table and answer the question.
After completing the lab and watching the video, how can you change your answer from before?
