Precious Parachute (Kind of)

 Hey Bloggers,

For our Inquiry this term we are looking into rockets and space, eventually, we will be making our own rockets, But what goes up must come down right? Our task was to make a parachute, combined with air our rocket should be safe, but we must test it first.

So for the past two Inquiry sessions, Thursday and Monday, we have been making parachutes. Our task was to have the slowest time, with two hex nuts tied to it at the bottom. I was in a group with Pippa and Sophie, our first parachute used fabric and string, it was too fast so we had to come up with another plan, for our second parachute we used thick paper and string.

Here is the photo of the actual parachute:

Here is the picture of the diagram, the bigger one is the final design and the smaller one was our original idea.
