Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: using dynamics with actions by changing the speed and force, helps us to communicate the idea.
- Think: being able to understand the actions of others requires imagination.
- Feel: we demonstrate courage when we perform actions different to others in the group.
- Connect: sharing space with others without stopping them from performing their actions requires fairness.
Keywords
Speed - how fast or slow an action is performed
Force - how gentle or powerfully an action is performed
Dynamics - the combination of speed and force
Common misconception
Dynamics describes how fast an action is performed.
Dynamics involves both speed and force. Some words do mean speed, e.g. quick, whereas others only talk about force, e.g. strong. However some words might mean both, e.g. explosive would be both fast and strong.
