Parachutes

8th Mar 2023

Today, we investigated how different materials can be used to create parachutes. We wanted to see what the best material would be to use. 

We chose from j cloths, paper and plastic. 

We attached string to each corner and used a paper clip as a weight. 

Then we set up a competition to see which team's parachute was the best.

We had loads of fun and excitement as Mr. Doyle dropped our parachutes from high up. 

We learned that the j cloth worked as the best material to use.
