We are upcoming 4th grade students in Austin I.S.D. participating in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics summer program. We chose to document our learning adventure through writing and photographs on this blog. Enjoy!

Ready, Set, Drop!!!!!
Hi my name is Natalie. Today we got to make parachutes out of different materials. We had to test the suspension line length,the canopy material, and the canopy size.Me and my partner Marissa we were testing length.We had to test 7in,13in,and 17in suspension lines.There was two other groups,one other group was testing material for the canopy (Jazyln, Darius, and Nicolas).The other group was testing different sizes for the canopy (Genesis and Krystal).Me and Marissa saw that each time we built the parachutes the strings got longer and the had gone slower each time we tested it.Genesis and Krystal had to test size of the parachutes, so it took them longer to finish their parachutes. Jazyln, Darius, and Nicolas had to test material so they were last to finish.we tested them and they had all different numbers.That is when we tested materials and made parachutes.
