Parachute Drop | Air Resistance Science & Engineering Challenge for K–2

Created by

Can you build a parachute that makes a toy fall slowly? In this hands-on engineering challenge, students design and test parachutes using different materials to discover which ones catch air the best. Children learn that air resistance (drag) slows objects down as they fall. Includes an introductory page connecting to real-world parachute design, step-by-step building instructions, a student prediction and observation recording sheet, a science explanation about air resistance and gravity, and a
