Parachute lab with linear equations

Created by

This is an engaging hands-on STEM project where students work cooperatively as a group to construct the slowest floating parachute possible. Students are asked to record data on the height and duration of their parachute drop, then use this data to construct and utilize a linear equation. Notes: Supplies you will need include plastic sheeting (I recommend painter's plastic), fishing line, scissors, and a small toy figure (e.g. G.I. Joe toy) to attach the parachute to.

This activity is a fun way for students to practice basic density calculations (p=m/v) while building in some critical thinking skills as well. Students are provided a series of clues about 7 different colored boxes and students need to determine which of the seven provided masses, volumes, and densities is connected tot hat color box. For example, "The density of water is 1.0 grams per cubic cm. If the orange object was placed in water, it would float." There is a table for students to fil
