This Science Week, children in Jet Class were challenged to design, build, test and modify a parachute.

After learning about parachutes, gravity and air resistance, we designed our parachutes and decided on the materials we would use.

Then with a partner, we built the parachute.

Finally we tested our parachute, made some modifications based on our first test and then tested again.

Have a look at the pictures of some of our final parachutes!
