What makes a Kite Fly?

In first grade we learned all about the weather and had an awesome visit from a meteorologist Britta Merwin from channel 2 come visit and speak to the kids about the weather. To explore one part of weather, air, we had an experiment. Kites were made and the kids went outside to test out the kite to find out what makes a kite fly? In the end the kids found out that air helps to keep the kite afloat. 

Sophia said, “Even though we cannot see air, it is all around us!” Jakob responded “This is so cool!” Our first graders loved it and had a blast experimenting and learning about the weather especially AIR!
