We have been working with Mr Din on how forces affect planes. We have had one lesson on helicopters and learnt how drift & drag force affects it along with lift and gravity forces. This week we made parachutes and dropped them off the balcony with eggs in the baskets. We had no breakages! Miss Thomas also dropped a wine glass that was in one of the baskets and that did not break either! This showed us the forces that impact on the way the parachutes fall.
Here are some photos of us and our parachutes and funny looking planes.
