We decided to try our hand at making parachutes. Once again our brave gingerbread men rose to the occasion. Our first attempt used a coffee filter (nicely hyperbolic), and resulted in a slightly slowed descent. Jr scientist A came up with his own design (on the right), which worked better than mine (what does it say when a 4 year old can design a better parachute than you!). Jr scientist A wanted us to make parachutes for him and his sister, but I think such an endeavor might be a little premature.
