Engage students in physics as they explore gravitational force and air resistance while designing a delivery system to land a package safely in a target zone.
Engage students in physics as they explore gravitational force and air resistance while designing a delivery system to land a package safely in a target zone. In this interactive challenge, learners experiment with surface area, mass, and design to protect a present figurine from a high drop. By testing and refining their creations, students see firsthand how larger surface areas increase air resistance and slow descent, while mass and design choices impact landing success. The hands-on testing and real-world context make abstract science concepts like gravity and air resistance meaningful, exciting, and memorable for every learner!
