Parachute Away

If you throw an egg up into the air, it will come back down and make a big mess. In this 4‑H STEM Lab activity, you will learn how to harness the power of physics and air resistance to develop different parachute designs and discover a safe way to deliver an egg to the ground. This activity was adapted from Science Fun with Physics (c) 2016 The Ohio State University.
