My experience assisting working with the Family Fun Crafts at the Marietta History Center was very pleasant. I enjoyed assisting all the little ones make paper airplanes and seeing there little faces light up after there creation was completed. It was my first time at the History center but I would love to come back to help anytime. Overall it made for such a delightful Saturday.
Assisted Parents with children in making home made parachutes. The supplies used was Coffer Filter for parachute, yarn for risers leading to parachute, and sample cups for the "person".
According to the organizers, a KSU volunteer came up with the project and this organization reimplemented it. This was a really big his with kids because they could build it, play with it and learn something from it. Though kids didn't understand the physics, they gained awareness by through an empirical approach. After watching the reactions of various children in seeing how a parachute works, I can see how activities like this might inspire children to learn more about something they just witnessed.
A busier day than the October one and very enjoyable
I really enjoyed going to this event. It was fun working with the kids that came and a lot of the history in the museum was interesting.
