My Project

This project aims HI (Hawaii and flying high) to ignite students' passion for science and physical fitness by combining the excitement of kites and discus with the principles of aerodynamics. Through hands-on experiments and engaging activities, students will explore the forces at play in flight, enhance their understanding of scientific concepts, and improve their physical abilities.

By providing students with kites and discus, we will:

* **Foster a love of science:** Students will learn about the principles of lift, drag, thrust, and gravity as they experiment with different kite designs and launch techniques.

* **Enhance physical fitness:** Discus throwing is a challenging sport that requires strength, coordination, and technique. By incorporating discus into our PE curriculum, we can help students improve their overall physical health and athletic abilities.

* **Promote teamwork and collaboration:** Kite-flying activities often involve teamwork and cooperation. Students will learn to work together to achieve a common goal and develop important social skills.

* **Kites:** A variety of kites, including traditional kites and dragon kites, will allow students to explore different aerodynamic principles and design concepts.

* **Discus:** High-quality discus that are suitable for elementary school students will provide opportunities for safe and effective throwing practice.

This project will have a significant impact on our students' learning and development. By combining science and physical fitness, we are creating a more engaging and meaningful educational experience. Students will gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts, improve their physical abilities, and develop important social skills.

By supporting this project, you are investing in the future of our students and helping to create a more exciting and engaging learning environment allowing our students in Hawaii to soar high.
