We have been learning about forces in science and today we turned our attention to air resistance.  Using a large bed sheet we gathered into small groups and investigated what happened when we tried to move the sheet up and down quickly, this proved to be more fun than we had expected!  Using what we have learnt today, tomorrow we will start to come up with parachute designs for The Super Skydiving Company. The perfect parachute will be the one that makes a person fall the slowest by causing air resistance to push it up with the biggest force.
