Yr 7 students took on the challenge of answering, “Are bigger parachutes better than smaller ones?” They crafted large and small parachutes from plastic bags, ensuring controlled variables like weight, string length, and plastic type remained the same. By measuring the fall time from a consistent height, they discovered that the bigger parachute took longer to descend, proving to be “better.” This experiment led to an engaging discussion on air resistance and its impact on parachute performance.
