First, students did a VTS activity while looking at various pictures of parachutes. Next students had a mini-lesson on capturing wind design. Students then began building their own parachute using a plastic bag, scissors, a meter of string, and a Lego person.
After students parachutes were designed and modified, the challenge began! Given a meter stick, students dropped their Lego Person Parachute from ten feet up trying to land on a "mountain".
Our final step was writing a reflection of what was learned about parachute design.
Great job students!

Success!
