Exciting engineering!

Kia Ora bloggers, 

This term for inquiry we are doing the "wonder" project and looking at engineering and how to make our own rockets, for this inquiry we have engineers that come in ever tuesday to help us out with our rockets, another task to help us out with this project was to make our own parachute, for this task we had many different materials too choose from, and the objective was to make the slowest and most controlled parachute, the parachute had to hold two nut bolts, my group used 2 sheets of fabric, masking tape and some string. After making our parachute we had to get it tested to see how long it took to fall, ours took roughly 2 seconds, here is a photo of our final parachute design. Have you ever made a parachute?



Bye, everyone!
