Santa’s Parachute

 

How do you get Santa safely to the ground if he has to bail out of his sleigh?  You build a parachute, of course! Students built a parachute out of their choice of materials to try and land Santa safely to the ground.  Gravity, drag, mass, and friction were talked about and used to try and build a parachute.  Attached is a short video explaining how a parachute works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tofBRpzB5n4
