Anne Phillips took kite flying to another level. She spent the day with kindergarten students at Burnsville Elementary School making the connection between a fun day flying kites and the science behind the materials and the weather that make a kite fly. Students were instructed on a simple folding technique to create their own kite using paper, a bamboo skewer, and ribbon for a tail. Before making the kite the students learned how and why a kite flies. Anne also discussed what would make a kite fly better or worse. Students used crayons and feathers to craft their own designs. And then….LIFT OFF!
