Parachutes!

As a quick side-note, we have a crazy amount of geese that love to hang out near our playground every morning! Here they are!

In science, we are wrapping up our study of air, air pressure, compression, and resistance. We observed how 3 different parachute types fall to the ground, and timed them as they fell to the floor. The parachute made out of a plastic sheet fell the fastest. The parachute made out of a napkin took the longest to hit the floor.

Then, each kid got a chance to make his/her own parachute and try dropping it from different heights around the room.

Science is fun!
