Making Parachutes

As part of our maths and technology learning the class has been learning to design, make and modify parachutes. The next step will be to record the descent times on a table and compare these with other groups. Students need to think about how they will take accurate measurements and ensure that 'flights' are conducted in a fair manner. The photos show the creating stage. The designs were drawn using the Google drawing tool. 

Good use of recycled materials.

Some serious concentration at the create stage!

  6. Kia Ora Ruby,
    My name is Maddison. I'm from room 11 at Park Estate School. I was impressed by what materials you used, because I haven't seen a blog post with a class or themselves using recycled materials.
    Next time you should add more detail instead of 1 sentence for example, My friend Kelly was using a plastic bag as well as... (The other materials you used.)
    Kind regards,
    Maddison
