Parachute Fun

Objective: Students will measure a rectangle using standard and nonstandard units. They will discover that the ratio of length to width of a rectangle is constant and related to a linear function. Students will design rectangular and circular parachutes and use other equipment to measure time and distance so that the motion of the object can be determined. The students will also explain the results of applying a force to an object.
