This activity explores a parachutist and her position, velocity and acceleration. Graphing and calculating these functions will be required.

Students will design and construct parachutes to determine the rate of descent using the distance formula. Printable lesson

This engaging lesson combines the concepts of statistics and measurement. Learners create a simulation of a parachute jump using whirlybirds, to predict the frequency of an event occurring. A detailed lesson plan which includes a list of...

Predict and determine the frequency of an event and measure to the nearest centimeter while constructing whirlybirds in a simulation of a parachute jump competition.
