This Proprioception Trick Stops Every Student Cold
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this short (watch here), David Price of @ScienceMadeSimpleUK and I explore science busking: a joyful, hands-on approach to inspiring students through playful phenomena in education. Watch as proprioception (your brain's ability to sense where your body parts are in space) becomes an unforgettable lesson hook.
This is what effective teaching looks like: low-prep, high-impact, and rooted in curiosity. Whether you're a classroom teacher, instructional coach, school leader, or parent supporting education at home, this kind of whole-child, pro-kid mindset is exactly what drives student motivation, classroom belonging, and thriving students.
Science busking isn't a trick; it's a teaching strategy that sparks attention in class, deepens student participation, and makes abstract concepts stick through inclusive, culturally responsive teaching.
