As we are completing Stage 1 Physics through Mount Compass High School, last Friday we travelled there to complete some practical activities. We made parachutes out of nylon material using a laser cutter and then launched our parachutes from various heights using a drone. One group varied the weight of the payload and one group changed the size of the hole in the parachute. We enjoyed our day and thank Mr Bosch for driving us there.
