The handiwork of imagining the submicroscopic:Embodied performances as interactional resources for learning chemistry

Abstract: Both practicing scientists and students alike use gestures and their bodies to share and develop new ideas with others. Embodied performances are a particularly useful resource for collaboratively imagining the submicroscopic, three-dimensional, and dynamic phenomena of chemistry. In this talk, we'll explore how creating spaces for, attending to, and  interacting with students' embodied performances can generate opportunities to enrich learning.
