Coffee-Filter Parachute

Resource Guide

Coffee-Filter ParachuteOne 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. https://instructional-resources.physics.uiowa.edu/2c3065-terminal-velocity-coffee-filters
