In this lesson, learn about the concepts of free fall, gravity, air resistance and impact.
How do you protect a falling raw egg from cracking upon impact when it hits the ground? When NASA needs to land their million-dollar Mars Rover, they use, of all things, a nifty parachute! In this lesson, learn about the concepts of free fall, gravity, air resistance and impact. In the process of building and experimentation, aspects of engineering and material science will be incorporated. A fun lesson that will engage you to learn through play and encourage you to think out of the box!
