Lab #2

My partner was Lilly and we had to make a successfull parachute that was flying or drifting above a hair dryer and when you drop it from a tall height.

The way we built it was with four really, really long string, a little army man and about 5-6" by 5-6" plastic sheet from a garbage bag. We put a hole in the top that was only about an 1". It was perfect! We were so excited and it worked really well, it was our third time trying to make a successfull one. YAH!

I learned that when you don't have a hole in the top, your parachute will twist and turn on it's way down from falling, and not work with the hair dryer.

It was really fun!
