Reason For Learning
Wind resistance, also called drag, is simply a force that acts on a solid object. In the “Falling Egg” experiment that will be done in class, your goal is to create as much wind resistance to slow down a falling egg. This experiment will show that the size of the parachute makes a difference in the speed of descent. You’ll learn so much about wind resistance that even Humpty Dumpty may thank you.
