Science - How does it move?

Parachutes

We made simple parachutes using paper and string. 

We took them outside and dropped them from the top of the playground. We knew that gravity would pull the parachutes to the ground while the wind or air would try to push the parachute up.

Our parachutes floated down but they kept flipping over before they landed on the ground. We decided that this was because the paper was heavier than the string.

Next, we hung a Peg Person from the strings. Now our parachutes floated to the ground properly.
