[Singing] It's electrifying. [Reporter] Putting on an electrifying performance [Singing] It's electrifying. [Reporter] Third grade students at Hilton Head
Island School for the Creative Arts are
busy practicing their play about
electricity it's based on a science unit
about electromagnetism. [Ariana Vera] I get to be an
evil insulator and I'm basically a bad
guy and I get to stop everyone all the
conductor's that play the drums and
everything and then then I get to like
run off the stage it's just like my
favorite part about it. [Owen Hughes] I do this thing with my
class it's like we're using boom markers  to show how electricity can be
strong and can be powerful and then my
other part is I'm an electromagnet and
that's when we show how when
electromagnets are unplugged. [Student] You need to plug me in. [Owen] They can't
do anything when they're plugged in they
can produce a lot of electricity. [Reporter] The
kids are learning about electricity as
they act play instruments dance and sing
songs and music teacher wrote. [Singing] We're charged up and ready to go.
[Jennifer Friend-Kerr] Being a arts infused school we are able
to bring the learning to life hands-on
we find that kinesthetically kids learn
and through the arts through drawings
through dancing through singing they're
gonna retain the information and it's
going to become part of them they own it. [Melinda Smith] The advantage of doing a program like
this is it not only allows the students
who are involved in the program to learn
the standards but it also teaches the
audience the standards as well and the
things that they will learn so the
second graders coming to third grade
will have at least been exposed to the
beginnings of electricity and hopefully
we'll learn some of the connections that
they saw in the show. [Singing] It's electrifying [Reporter] The play titled, "It's
Electrifying" is made possible by a grant
the teachers received from the
Foundation for Educational Excellence
you can see the play on March 12th there
will be two performances at the school
at one in six pm. At Hilton Head Island
School for the Creative Arts Ron Lopes Beaufort County School District.
[Singing] We hope to share the spark!
