Source: Deceptively Educational: DIY Parachutes
In this pack, we included:
- 1 small plastic cup with holes punched in the sides near the top
- 1 plastic bag square (we cut up garbage bags)
- 4 lengths of yarn
- 1 instruction sheet
On the back of the instruction sheet, we included some information about the science of parachutes and the following extension activities:
- What happens if you put something heavy in the cup? Something light?
- What happens if you let the parachute go from different heights?
- Does size matter? Can you make a smaller parachute? Does it fall differently?
