Students may work alone or with a partner to build a parachute out of recycled materials at home. Bring your parachute to the competition, and we will attach an egg to the base of your strings. The parachute will be dropped a height of approximately 20 feet. The egg that lands closest to the target without breaking wins!
Note: The measurement of the full parachute with strings attached may not be taller than 6 feet. Make your parachute out of any material, but it must be homemade by the students. No purchased parachutes allowed!
