Making Parachutes

Att eh end of last week we had a go at making parachutes. We have been looking at the ideas of floating, gliding and soaring. First we compared papers, flat and crumpled then we made our parachutes out of plastic bags.  We made big ones, small ones, square, round, ones with little slits and ones without. We used a paper clip as a result. We had a parachute drop to compare results.
