Parachute Investigations

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 5 Year: 2024 - 2025

Today in our Science lesson, 5BM/SL were investigating the best material for a parachute to maximise it's air resistance. We made our own parachutes using paper, plastic and fabric and tested them -by dropping them from the balcony and timing them as they floated down. It was a close call between the different materials, but the paper parachute took the longest to land giving it the best air resistance. Enjoy the photos.
