Sharks Took Science to the Sky This Week! After learning about gravity and air resistance, the Sharks put their knowledge to the test by designing parachutes to achieve a slow and safe descent. Using their maths skills, the children designed two parachutes with different surface areas and tested them using the apparatus. Each parachute was dropped three times from the same height to calculate an average fall time. From their results, the children concluded that a larger surface area creates greater air resistance, which slows the parachute most effectively. Next week, we'll be back up on the apparatus as we investigate Galileo's findings!
