When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars?
Students will design a parachute using coffee filters and will determine what canopy size is the safest for Res to use to land on Mars in this engaging and hands-on lesson.
