Science - Parachute Experiment

Last couple of days, 8Bh has been doing an experiment in science that was related to flight. I will be talking about our experiment that was about parachutes. First of all we made mini parachutes in groups of 3. We used strings, a plastic bag, some tape and 3 paper clips to make it. We also had a piece of paper to write down our prediction, how we did it and extra details about the distance we dropped the parachute and how long did it take to reach down to the ground. We tried it outside, but it didn't exactly go well. So, we went to the learning commons, and dropped our parachutes at the top step of the stairs. My groups goal was for our parachute to fall elegantly down to the ground. And it did! I had so much fun doing this experiment, that I want to do it again some time!
