S1 have been exploring Gravity this week as part of their forces topic work.
On Wednesday afternoon they watched sky diver videos and used parachute men to see how a parachute can slow something down with air resistance.
They then followed step by step instructions to make our own parachutes and tested them by dropping them off the balcony towards targets on the floor - and they worked!!
They had lots of fun using and defying - or find ways to help slow down the effects of - gravity!
