Incoming.....Parachute testing.
As part of year 5's science topic of forces we have been studying air resistance.
We worked in groups to create 4 parachutes of different sizes.
Parachute A was 15cm by 15cm
Parachute B was 30cm by 30cm
Parachute C was 45cm by 45cm
Parachute D was 60cm by 60cm
Then we dropped them from a height to test how long it takes to fall to the ground. Can you see which one was the quickest? Can you tell which one was the slowest?
