What is Air Resistance?

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 6 Year: 2021 - 2022

In science we have been looking at different types of Forces. We decided to do an experiment to test air resistance.  We needed to make sure the test was fair so we measured two distances in the MUGA  and collected stop watches and a parachute. We timed ourselves running the distance, then timed ourselves again running the same distance but with a parachute behind us.  We found that the parachute caused air resistance and slowed us down.
