Parachute Launches

The 6th grade is studying astronomy. As part of our discussion of rockets, the students designed and built parachutes to launch with a stomp rocket. The launch site was at McGuffey Park, and we were joined by a local preschool. Parachutes were judged by how long they stayed in the air.
