Science and Glee


Glee is a show about a high school glee club, a grouping of students who sing an dance together, in Ohio. When watching this show you would not think it relates to science but it does. In the glee club, the students sing and when singing, you use the voice box or larynx, which houses the vocal cords which connect the base of the neck to the trachea and the air from your lungs then strikes the vocal cords and produce song. That right there is science. Singing is actually physics as well because the vibrations of the vocal cords which convert air movement into sound energy. On the show they also choreograph and dancing is both biology and physics because it requires muscle fibers and is movement. There are also laws of gravity involved and that is science too. Though this show and many other shows are not thought of as science, they are and everything is science. How do you think you watch shows on your TV?

It never occured to me how singing and dancing is science so I think it was very clever how you thought of that. I also think you explained it very well.
