Young scholars study deceleration devices like parachutes and parafoils.

Pupils read books, learn about the letter c, and eat roasted peanuts all to learn about the circus. In this circus lesson plan, students also use design their own tickets and have parachute play.

Young scholars discover the importance of matching verbs to their subjects through a discussion of a whimsical video on verb agreement and a read aloud of the book, "To Root, To Toot To Parachute". They practice verb agreement in...

Children with special needs participate in several activities to reinforce shape and color recognition. They sign the word leaf, sing a song about leaves, and bounce leaves around on a parachute. They then help the instructor name...

Shapes are really neat, and here's a lesson that will help learners identify shapes through song, touch, and sight. They sing a shape song as they bounce different shapes around in a parachute. They then read a story and feel each shape...

Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters.  In this airplanes lesson plan students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land. 

Students partake in a fun and active Halloween activity.

The classic "Egg Drop Activity" is described in this fine science lesson plan. Young scientists work together to design a container that will protect the eggs inside of it when dropped from a high place. Lots of good scientific...

Fourth graders participate in a parachute math game. They run under the parachute after it has been lifted, looking for a card that has an equivalent fraction or decimal on it to match the one they were given by the teacher.

Students build parachutes for chicken eggs. In this physics lesson, students describe the forces acting on a falling object. They predict which of the three parachute models they made has the best chance of keeping the egg intact after a...

Second graders become familiar with action verbs through the reading of To Root, To Toot, to Parachute: What is a Verb?  In this action word lesson, 2nd graders analyze sentences for the action verb. Students watch a video and...

Students construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

How does a society influence and shape individuals? Class members ponder this essential question as they read Lord of the Flies, as well as primary source materials about the historical background of the novel. As a...

Students discuss communities and why rules are important. In this community lesson plan, students compare and contrast communities with and without rules and play with parachutes and balls.

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. For this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. For this statistics lesson, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

The classic egg-drop experiment gets a new bounce with an activity that asks pairs to design a lander similar to one used to land a rover on Mars within a fixed budget. The activity provides a great introduction to the idea of...

Students are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

Third graders make parachutes to learn about gravity and the science process. In this gravity instructional activity, 3rd graders create parachutes and observe their flight in air. Students discuss wind and gravity for the activity.

Pupils work together to develop their own parachuting probe. They test it and record the results. They simulate other experiments that are going to be carried out by the Huygens probe.

In this number order worksheet, students will connect the dots, 1 to 20, to complete a picture of a cat parachuting out of an airplane.

In this photo puzzle worksheet, students will spot eight differences between two similar pictures of parachutes landing on a beach.

Learners investigate space travel. In this space travel lesson students examine space exploration history, engineers and scientists involved in space exploration, and Newton's third law of motion. Learners make rockets.
