2025 STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

I worked on the question: “How can I make a parachute that falls slowly and safely?” I wanted to see which design would make the parachute stay in the air the longest

WHY?

I did this project to learn how parachutes work and how their design affects how fast they fall

HOW?

First, I chose different materials like newspaper and a plastic cup. Then I tested them by dropping each one from the same height

WHAT?

I found out that the parachute made that had a big newspaper acting as the pharacute worked very well.

SO WHAT?

My results show that parachute size and material really affect how it falls.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Next time I could also add weight to the parachute and see how it affects the fall.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I really had no references i just tried out what i thought will work the best
