3rd grade aerospace

3rd grade completed their Aerospace Engineering unit and celebrated by letting their parachutes fly (or more accurately, drop!)!   We studied drag and tested the best canopy material, canopy size, and suspension line length to get the most drag.  After a lot of testing between the two classes, the students used that knowledge to build their own.  They were so creative!  It was fun to test and enjoy the drag they were able to witness.  Here are some photos of the process:
