Parachutes

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This activity involves playing with a parachute to make discoveries about air. It is always a favorite activity as most children enjoy hiding under the parachute but limit the number who can hide at the same time. After they play with the parachute, encourage children to think about and describe how parachutes help skydivers as they fall through the air. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
