North Ranch Elementary School

Kids get excited when they get to do a hands-on project.  That's what we did at North Ranch(Paradise Valley School District).  Linda Zall, the after school director, had some 60-70 kids, ages 5-12 making airplanes and kites with me. Discussions of air pressure, wind, gravity, and lift helped the kids to understand how to make their projects successful.  In addition to a fun, educational experience, they got some well-deserved exercise.
