Parachutes

This week for science we have been doing experiments that have been based on Flight. Yesterday we made parachutes out of plastic, string and paper clips. The first thing we did was get into groups of two or three. I was working with faith and Alysica so we did it really quickly each of us took turns doing something, I cut the string, Faith cut the plastic and Alyscia taped everything together and .we then got our equipment out, we had also had to get scissors, tape and a plate to trace and cut the plastic to a reasonable size, we also taped the string to the plastic. We then made a prediction on what would happen and how it would look like. After all of that we finally got to test out our parachute to see how well our parachute glided down and if it went down evenly in the right manner. Ours worked quite well until it started to get tangled, it still worked but it was getting worse each time we threw it.
