Comments from educators
You were fabulous with the kids. They loved you. They REALLY hope you
will come and visit them again. I wish you could come more often because
you
really turn them on to science.

I am so impressed with your presentations.
You have a knack for making complex scientific ideas understandable and
fun. Keep up the good work!

Dr. Discovery, aka, Richard K. Elsley, Ph.D, combines his years of high tech research and development with a “mile high twinkle in his eye” to “fire up” children’s interest in science. Kids love his cutting-edge content and his sterling delivery.

Your science experiments were amazing. The lesson was informative but also fun. A perfect mixture to inspire the kids to want to learn more about science.

Comments from students
The copper pipe experiment was really cool. Also, I now know that the
two magnets that lifted up the desk came from my own computer at home! It
was really funny when you put on the white scientist coat and messed up
your hair. Thank you so much for showing me the really interesting things
in science! I really enjoyed it!

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your schedule to come
and see us in class. I never knew that magnets could be so strong, until
you put them on Kaitlyn's hand! I also loved that trick you did with the
paper clip and the magnet. It was really fun, thank you again.

I did not know that with just a few items you could make millions of
projects and ideas. I loved your white lab coat, and your plastic brain. I
really enjoyed how you gave us tips on our projects, now I know what and
what not to do for my project.
