Parachutes for Traction Man’s Adventure!
Year 1 and Year 2 carried out an investigation that considered whether the size of Traction Man’s parachute affected the time that it took him to reach the ground.
First they discussed the investigation and predicted what they thought might happen when we changed the size of Traction Man’s parachute. Following this, children went outside where they carried out the experiment. There were three different sized parachutes but all of the other variables (the height at which Traction Man ‘jumped’ from) remained the same. Once children had finished their experiment, they went back into class to write up their results.
