In our class, we have carried out an experiment about air resistance. The children created parachutes of varying diameters to ascertain which would be most effective to protect the cargo. We used hard boiled eggs, decorated as faces, to be dropped from the first floor of the building to test our parachutes. The children worked in teams, measuring and cutting the parachutes and strings, attaching these to the eggs and carrying out a fair test by dropping each one from the same point, with the same force.
