Air resistance holds a parachute open.
The student will employ simple equipment to demonstrate the gliding flight of a parachute or floating seed. The student will make a flying toy out of an action figure with an attached parachute and project it into the sky above in order to observe the gliding flight of a parachute. Wrap and tie each bag handle securely to the arms of the action figure. Start making the knot in the bag and slip the arm of the action figure before tightening the knot. Grab the bottom of the bag and squeeze all the air out.
