Derwentwater - Science - Parachute Experiment

Class: Science - STEM Year: 2024 - 2025

You saw us, last week, creating and setting up our parachute and air resistance experiment.  Well, today was the day we actually carried out the investigation.

We actually knew already what the results may be - larger parachute = more air resistance = slower fall...... however, real science is about trying to prove your theories.  So, with our variables set and decided upon, and our equipment made, we are having an excellent afternoon.
