Description:

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best. They test their designs, and then contribute to a class discussion (and possible journal writing) to report which paper materials worked best. Activity includes links to recommended resources, investigating questions to stimulate discussion, and suggestions for assessment and extensions.
