Today we have been looking at how air resistance and gravity affect an object.
Mr Tallant has desperately requested our help from Fiji- he needed to know the best materials to help him land safely if an air disaster occurred with him on board a plane. (He has been sending us updates on the potential tsunami that may await him.)
We designed and investigated which material would best protect Mr Tallant using an egg to represent his body.
What did we discover class 12?
Were there any anomalies or were your predictions correct?

I really liked making the parashoots because it was really fun when they got tested out.

I found it really fun too! It seems that a combination of protection for the egg and a parachute protected it the most! Can you remember the forces that affected it?

Yes air resistance and gravity.????
