“Mr. Rivest’s science mime program is one that the students will never forget. He was not only

able to motivate our students but make them think like scientists.” Teachers’ Comments,

Homer Science Magnet School

 

“We where thrilled with the performance ... He really did his home work ! Not only did he do a

beautiful job with some of the subjects we suggested (a piping plover, a “raindrop journey “ )

he added some of his own which were a lot of fun and right on target (moving a glacier, fresh

water meets salt water...) We will cite Robert’s performance as a model for future

performances. ”

Joan Miller, Education Coordinator, Waquoit Bay Research Reserve
