I never knew so much about science in my life! I've learned so many things today...I can't wait to show my family all the neat things I've learned today. Thank you! P.S. Your show was funny!

I was picked to do an experiment with water pressure. I turned the cup over and the water didn’t come out! I’m going to try it at home.

It was really a cool assembly. I learned a lot about the atmosphere. I hope Mr. Rich can come again.”

Rich is a high energy guy, who presented science concepts with real, everyday objects. Our school will be inviting Rich back for another science assembly. Rich is great!”

I liked all of the things he brought to show us how gravity and air pressure works. The experiments were fun.

This is a fun, captivating science assembly!

It was so much fun. I really like science. Can he come back?

He made science fun. I didn’t know our atmosphere was 300 miles high. I liked all of the experiments he did with the kids.”

What a great time the kids had. It was the talk of the school. ...Thank you so much for your dedication and enthusiasm for teaching."

Thank you for showing the science performance to us. I learned a lot. I didn't have a favorite part because I thought the whole show was awesome! The experiments were so cool!

Your demonstrations were funny, good, and incredible! I truly will do the experiment you did at home.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for such a great and valuable learning experience for our school...I have had such an overwhelming positive response from parents, teachers, and students!

It was fun the static experiment was fun.  I like being able to take our experiments home.

I loved the experiments.  Our instructor was entertaining. I especially like being able to do the experiments.

It was cool making the closed circuit with the battery and paper plate. I also liked creating a spark by hitting gems together.

I liked the assembly because the kids got to participate in the experiments and take them home to share with their families.  This assembly was very educational and it was fun to volunteer for this assembly.

The assembly was very well organized and educational.  Mr. Blagden was entertaining which kept the students engaged.  The students and I only wished we had had more time to do more experiments.  The students loved being able to take home their experiments.  We hope he comes back soon.

It is always fun to get to do the experiments.  Mr. Blagden was entertaining and we got to learn about electricity.

I liked being able to do the experiments. It is easier to remember what I learned when I get to see what really happens when I rub items together.

I hope we have more assemblies like this one in the future.  The student’s were able to physically see what they had been taught.  It is always more beneficial for a student to see and test what they have learned.  It is always more meaningful.  It was great to work with my child and see the excitement in their eyes while learning.

This morning I watched one of the best science assemblies I have ever seen. It was entitled “Our Atmosphere.” The “scientist” and educator, Rich Blagden, explained concepts to the students like, gravity, and atmospheric layers and air pressure in “kidspeak.” He used students from the audience to perform great experiments with items you would find around the house. Students were encouraged to go home and replicate the experiments. The teachers loved it. The teachers even asked Rich to extend the 2nd assembly by ten minutes.

It is more interesting to have a hands-on experience in science, instead of reading out of a text book, and you have a lot of fun while you're doing it.
