| 3rd graders testing their parachutes. |
The mentors and kids at RL Stevens LOVE our new KidzScience kits. It is easy for me because I just hand the kit to a mentor and I know they are well supplied. The mentors appreciate having the lesson plans to use as guides for leading and setting up activities.
We have had several classes use the Falling and Flying kit to make parachutes and build rockets. The students had a lot of fun testing their parachutes and racing them against paper clips without parachutes to see how parachutes help to slow objects as they fall. They also built rockets, working in teams to see which constructions worked best and helped their rockets fly the farthest.
With the help of the KidzScience kits, we have had a lot of success introducing our students to different scientific principles by using just one or two of the lessons.
