The artist wants to make a kite beautiful.  The scientist asks, "What makes it fly?"  During a session of kite making, you will be able to study both of these aspects with your Pathfinders.
Earning the kite honor is a great way to spend a windy March Sunday with your Pathfinders.  Here are some ideas to help plan your day.

• Have someone from your local kite club come in and do a demonstration.
• Go and watch a demonstration or competition put on by a local kite club.
• Set up a round robin format for the afternoon.  Since each Pathfinder is supposed to make and fly two different types of kites.  Have kite-making stations; kite flying stations, and learning stations.

Here are a bunch of web sites that have simple kite plans.
