The students start in a straight line formation, representing the trans form of the molecule - Slow and controlled arm movements representing the stable state of the molecule
When light is applied, the students gradually increase the speed with rapid, jerky movements to represent the molecule changing its shape. The move mimics the process of isomerization, where the photoswitch molecule changes shape in response to light
They perform more dynamic and chaotic movements, such as jumps or spins, to represent the increased reactivity of the excited state. Then form up in twisted directions compared to the trans state to display the nonplanar cis form. The can represents the energy being stored inside the molecule after undergoing the structure transition
The students start in a standing position, representing the excited state of the molecule. They move their arms up and outwards, representing the energy released as the molecule relaxes.
They start to move chaotically with quick and sudden movements representing the complex interactions between the excited molecule and its surroundings. They may grab and interact with imaginary objects, representing the solvent molecules and other molecules in the system.
After that, their energy level gradually decreases, representing the dissipation of energy through non-radiative decay. Eventually, they return to a standing position, representing the ground state of the molecule, where all the energy has been dissipated.
The students could wear outfits that are oranges to display the original trans state
and then change to yellow under UV light. They could then dance in different formations and movements to represent the two different states
under different UV light and wavelength influence, the molecules will be able to revert back to their original form
we could start with slow, fluid movements to represent cooler temperatures, and gradually transition to more energetic, fast-paced movements to represent higher temperatures
increasing the temperature can lead to faster isomerization from trans to cis, while in others it can lead to faster isomerization from cis to trans
The polar solvent group could perform fluid, flowing movements, while the nonpolar solvent group could perform sharp, angular movements. There are more interactions between molecules that can fasten isomerization in polar solvent

When photoswitch is excited, the stored energy can be transferred to other parts of the molecule, causing it to undergo structural change. From that, there is a difference in the light and wavelength absorption that cause the color change
The dance movements could mimic the process of isomerization, where the photoswitch molecule changes shape in response to light.
The excited state can release the absorbed energy and relax back to the ground state.
The movements can be accompanied by music that starts off fast and energetic, then becomes more chaotic. The music can then gradually become calmer and more peaceful as the energy dissipates and the molecule returns to its ground state.

Solvent Polarity
The students start in a straight line formation, representing the trans form of the molecule - Slow and controlled arm movements representing the stable state of the molecule
When light is applied, the students gradually increase the speed with rapid, jerky movements to represent the molecule changing its shape. The move mimics the process of isomerization, where the photoswitch molecule changes shape in response to light
They perform more dynamic and chaotic movements, such as jumps or spins, to represent the increased reactivity of the excited state. Then form up in twisted directions compared to the trans state to display the nonplanar cis form. The can represents the energy being stored inside the molecule after undergoing the structure transition
The students start in a standing position, representing the excited state of the molecule. They move their arms up and outwards, representing the energy released as the molecule relaxes.
They start to move chaotically with quick and sudden movements representing the complex interactions between the excited molecule and its surroundings. They may grab and interact with imaginary objects, representing the solvent molecules and other molecules in the system.
After that, their energy level gradually decreases, representing the dissipation of energy through non-radiative decay. Eventually, they return to a standing position, representing the ground state of the molecule, where all the energy has been dissipated.
The students could wear outfits that are oranges to display the original trans state
and then change to yellow under UV light. They could then dance in different formations and movements to represent the two different states
under different UV light and wavelength influence, the molecules will be able to revert back to their original form
we could start with slow, fluid movements to represent cooler temperatures, and gradually transition to more energetic, fast-paced movements to represent higher temperatures
increasing the temperature can lead to faster isomerization from trans to cis, while in others it can lead to faster isomerization from cis to trans
The polar solvent group could perform fluid, flowing movements, while the nonpolar solvent group could perform sharp, angular movements. There are more interactions between molecules that can fasten isomerization in polar solvent
Relaxation
Color change
Environment influence
Excitation
When photoswitch is excited, the stored energy can be transferred to other parts of the molecule, causing it to undergo structural change. From that, there is a difference in the light and wavelength absorption that cause the color change
The dance movements could mimic the process of isomerization, where the photoswitch molecule changes shape in response to light.
The excited state can release the absorbed energy and relax back to the ground state.
The movements can be accompanied by music that starts off fast and energetic, then becomes more chaotic. The music can then gradually become calmer and more peaceful as the energy dissipates and the molecule returns to its ground state.
UV LIGHT
Increasing the temperature and change the solvent polarity can increase the rate of isomerization, as molecules move more rapidly and have a higher probability of undergoing the necessary molecular rearrangements.
