Humans remember things better when they take interest in those things and the children are the same. I am an elementary school teacher as well and got a budget approval to invite a science hobby group called <a href="http://madscience.org/" rel="nofollow">Mad Science</a>. They arranged all their ware efficiently on a small stage and started with the basic mechanics of a rocket. The children got a chance to make their own little rockets and launch them into space. Next most favorite of the kids is robots and the kids were all eyes and ears to the 'mad scientists', when they pushed in the little brains the primary concept of how robotics work. We teachers too had a great time and are determined to be as creative as possible while teaching important concepts , be it science/math.... I agree to you completely.
