Description
This is a fun lab for students to explore concepts such as speed, gravity, air resistance, & surface area by creating a penny parachute and testing its effectiveness. The download includes templates of shapes for students to use as guides as they create their penny parachutes. The lab works best when able to drop the penny parachutes from a 2 story hallway. The lab starts with a driving question: Does the shape of a parachute impact its ability to function effectively?
