Year 7 Science classes - Parachute CAT

The year 7 Science classes have been creative at home making their own parachutes. This is usually a task completed at school, but with the snap lockdown, it has become a home task. The teachers have been impressed with how creative the students have been with finding different materials from around the home to make their parachutes. The students then had to test one aspect of their design (the independent variable) and analyse the exact effect (dependent variable) on how the parachute works. Here are some of the parachutes.
