Our gymnasium became a virtual launch pad for our grade 3 parachutists taking part in Logics Academy’s Parachute STEM workshop on Friday, March 4, 2016. Students learned about the properties of upward force and the effects of drag while involved in the design and construction of 4 different groups of parachutes, experimenting with the size of the parachute, the placement of holes, and experimentation with various heights and subsequent touch down times using manual grabbers.
