I love dragonfly tv! and I would like it even more if you did a show about model airplanes. Since I don't have many friends, flying model airplanes is what I do in my spare time. However, I'm not very good at it and I need a little help. Please help me!

Aviva, MN | Story Idea
I think that you should add a segment to your site about Mattie Young-Burns. I saw the episode where she played tug-of-war. She's really really cool! I wish I could be just like her. She's my hero! I wish I knew her so that we could be friends!

Rachel, 9 | Cotton
I wanted to know if a seed would grow in cotton. I tried it and it worked. It was a tomato seed. I really like dinosaurs. But I also like studying space stuff.

Katrina, 8, WV | Inside a plane
I think that you should have a pic.Of the inside of a plane and kids can click on things and see what they are.

Ana, AZ | Inside a plane 2
I think that you should have a pic.Of the inside of a plane and kids can click on things and see what they are.

Anthony, IL | Spinning
We watched Dragonfly TV today. Two kids were spinning around to see which skating spin makes you more dizzy. My mom and I were wondering if grownups get more dizzy than kids. My mom always gets more dizzy than me.

Thomas, WI | Dirt Bikes
I THINK YOU SHOULD DO A SHOW ON STUFF WITH WHEELS AND ENGINES.
WHEN I GROW UP IM GOING TO BE A DIRTBIKE AND ATV MACANIC BECAUSE I HAVE DIRTBIKES AND THERE ALLWAYS BREAKING DOWN. IM GOING TO SEND IN SOMETHING ON DIRTBIKES. ITS A GOOD IDEA!

Steven, IA | Mars

Andy, MD | Music Man
I think that for one of your riddles you should do one about how to music get on CDs and cassettes.

Anonymouse, VA | Electricity
I think you should do an entire show on electricity. Show the inside of a power plant, stuff kids have done with electricity or anything on electricity.

DragonflyTV | Electricity Reponse
If you have ideas for experiments that kids on our show could perform, please send those along. DFTV doesn’t do “documentary" science, as such, but we are always looking for more investigations. We’d love to have your ideas.

Celia, IL | Language Show
I was wandering. I’ve been trying to learn a new language but I can never seem to remember the words. How come for some people learning a new language is easy but for others it isn’t? And does it make it easier for you to learn a new language if you know more than one?, or does the difficulty of the language you speak effect how well you master a new one?

Anonymous, WA | Video Game Show
You should do a show about making a video game, like going through the steps and actually making it playable.

Joe, 7, TX | Epsom Salt
I was watching a dragonfly show and you were showing how to make crystal rocks using epsom salt and water. I didn't get it all as I want to try it.

Hermonie, 10, AZ | Electronic comic book
I have an invention that i think will be a great sucsses it is an electric comic book a kid can just pop in a cartridge in and have a comic but the child could pick the ending of how the comic turned out

Katrina, 8, WV | Inside a plane

Michele, 21, CA | Study the heart
I want everybody to start to explore the human heart because it is fascinating and everybody would get a real kick out of the human heart and how it works. Thank you for your support

Patrick, 12, MI | Cool idea
Here's a cool experiment for Do It!

(WARNING: DO NOT USE BOWLING BALL!) Get a baseball and attach it to a string by tying or taping it. Hang the end of the string without the ball on a doorframe. Next, hold the ball and back up until the string is tight. Hold the ball against your nose and let go. DO NOT THROW IT!!! Stand absolutely still. It will miss your nose by a few inches. One more thing, make sure there are no breakable objects near you. *CRASH!!* Oops, too late!:)

Andy, 11, VA | Story about training robots
I think you should do a show on robots.There is a show I saw called robotica people builed robots.They were strong enough to go through cement blocks.

Marissa, 10, MN | Story about training dogs
I have an idea about a question for DFTV. Here is my question: How do people develop different training methods to train animals? Not how do they do the training, but how they figure out what will work when training different animals.

Gray, 13, MO | Story about hang gliders
would you do a special on hang gliding

Jason, 18, BC | Story about feet
why can't you guys do a show on feet!

DragonflyTV | Story about feet response
If you know someone between the ages of 9 and 12 who is doing an investigation about feet, we'd like to hear about it. Have that person send in his or her investigation to us, suing the Be On DFTV link. That's how story ideas get on our show.

Dante, PA | Story about vegetable gardens
I am 7 and a half years old. I really like your show. I saw the one about tornados and storms. I was wondering if you could do a show about how to garden with vegatables. Thank you.

Keyanah, 14, NC | Story about arms, or kites
Write a script about how your arms work. write a short story about how you fly a kite in fall.

Curt, 34, IL | Social Studies TV!
I'm a junior high social studies teacher who thinks this is an excellent resource! I'd love to see this resource expanded into the other curricular areas - especially Social Studies! I can see it now - junior high & high schoolers investigating culture, econcomy, government! That'd be great.

Mary, 55 , IL | Waste Water Treatment
How dirty sewage water becomes clean, reclaimed water is a very interesting topic. As the Community Education Specialist for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, and would love to see this topic developed on your show. Your program concept sounds wonderful. I'm looking forward to watching "Dragonfly" as soon as possible!

Yanoska, 12, NY | Volcanoes
Kids often usually ask "How do I do a Volcano Project"? It would be best if added information was on Volcanoes.

Kevia, 13, FL | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
i want to know more about dr. martn luther king jr. life and what he did for us!!!

DragonflyTV | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr response
