Defying Gravity
Kites. Just, something to play with on a windy day? Or an invention with mysterious origins lost in the mists of time that not only changed history, but life as we know it today? Did you choose B? Then you chose wisely. In this lesson students learn a smidge of the history of kites, come to understand just how kites manage to defy gravity for so long, build kites of their own, fly them, figure out how to get them up to the highest height, revise them, redesign them, and tie it all together with a piece of poetry. Hang on to your hats, your kids, and your kites, science is about to take flight!
