Parachute Away!
by Mitzi Noreen Cantillep
In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height. This will be a fun, collaborative activity that will make students explore gravitational force.
