R3 CLASS PARACHUTES

Ruma Toru made parachutes during Science. Materials we used were: plastic bags,string, paper, scissors and a hole punch. We folded newspaper and cut out a template then used the pattern to cut out a plastic copy. Holes were punched in the corners and string was threaded through and tied, then we knotted all the pieces of string. Next we went outside on the playground to test our parachutes, the first time we tried it fell to the ground quickly. Our class discovered that when we added too much weight to our parachutes they fell to the ground fast. As we threw our parachutes off the playground, we felt excited, and happy.
