We decided that Jack climbing down the beanstalk was not the quickest or safest way to get away from the giant so we made parachutes for him! The students designed and created their own parachutes from every day materials. Lots of great problem-solving went on! We then tested which parachute took the least amount of time flying of the equipment. A parachute made of dental floss and a coffee filter won!

 |
| Uh oh! A soggy parachute! It may not be flyable but it is now fashionable! |
 |
| Weeeee! |
 |
| Up, up, and away... |
 |
| One, two, three…up they go! |
 |
| Ready to fly |

| Tying is tough for little hands but they were patient and persistent |
 |
| More tying concentration |

| Teamwork |
