DemoCoffee-Filter Parachute
Resource Guide
One falls much more slowly.
Ask students to predict what will happen. Drop flat filter and crumpled filter/weighted version from same height.
Key idea: Greater area produces more drag from the air.
Ask: Which shape catches more air?
Safety and cleanup: Teacher controls elevated drop.
