Forces and Motion Parachutes

Product Code: 708-SPARA

Explore the dynamics of forces and motion through interactive parachutes ideal for science lessons.

Varied Sizes: This set includes three parachutes with diameters of 20, 30, and 40 cm, suitable for various experiments.
Material Quality: These parachutes effectively demonstrate scientific principles and are made from durable fabric designed to withstand classroom use.
Educational Value: These parachutes demonstrate air resistance to children practically.
Interactive Learning: These parachutes encourage hands-on activities by allowing for experiments that visibly demonstrate scientific theories, particularly how parachute size impacts the drop rate.
Year 5 Science: Aligns with the Year 5 Science curriculum by enabling children to explore air resistance through engaging, practical experiments.

Explore the dynamics of forces and motion through interactive parachutes ideal for science lessons.

Engage Year 5 pupils with these durable fabric parachutes, designed to simplify the understanding of forces like air resistance. Through hands-on experiments involving three different-sized parachutes—20cm, 30cm, and 40cm in diameter—children can see firsthand the impact of size on airflow dynamics and landing speed.

This set offers versatile educational opportunities to challenge and excite young minds about physics in real-world scenarios. By adjusting the weight and shape of the objects attached, children can explore various scientific concepts, making each session unique and informative.
Utilising these parachutes in your science curriculum supports the development of critical thinking and investigative skills. It effectively aligns with the Year 5 objective to identify how different forces, including air resistance, impact motion. The hands-on nature of the experiments helps to cement these fundamental scientific principles.
