In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
