Move It: Da Vinci parachutes

As part of our learning about how things move, we made model parachutes based on the design of Leonardo da Vinci.

To do this, we had to create 4 triangles that were the same size. We measured carefully to make the sides of the triangles the correct length. We learnt to use a protractor to measure the angles in the triangles.

Here are some photos of us helping each other as we did lots of thinking, measuring and creating.
