Atmospheric Layers
Space diving refers to the act of jumping from outer space and falling through Earth's atmosphere before parachuting to land. Scholars learn about this extreme activity and study the layers of the atmosphere they must conquer in the...
Mr Gym
Nuke Walk
Take a look at this cooperative learning activity. The goal of the activity is to transport nuclear waste (a cup of water) from point A to point B without spilling the toxic waste. There are several ideas given here for things to use to...
Curated OER
Alphabet, Vegetable, and Chicken Noodle Parachute Soup
Students throw in their letter or vegetable when the said object or letter is said by the teacher. They also explore how to make a parachute ripple and make waves.
Curated OER
Parachutes And Parafoils
Students study deceleration devices like parachutes and parafoils.
Curated OER
Circus Time
Students read books, learn about the letter c, and eat roasted peanuts all to learn about the circus. In this circus lesson plan, students also use design their own tickets and have parachute play.
Curated OER
Pendemonium: The Great African Surfari
Young scholars discover the importance of matching verbs to their subjects through a discussion of a whimsical video on verb agreement and a read aloud of the book, "To Root, To Toot To Parachute". They practice verb agreement in...
Curated OER
Falling into Shapes
Children with special needs participate in several activities to reinforce shape and color recognition. They sign the word leaf, sing a song about leaves, and bounce leaves around on a parachute. They then help the instructor name...
Curated OER
Lesson 2: Shapes
Shapes are really neat, and here's a lesson that will help learners identify shapes through song, touch, and sight. They sing a shape song as they bounce different shapes around in a parachute. They then read a story and feel each shape...
Curated OER
What Makes Airplanes Fly?
Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters. In this airplanes lesson students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land.
Curated OER
5th Grade, Egg Droppers
The classic "Egg Drop Activity" is described in this fine science lesson plan. Young scientists work together to design a container that will protect the eggs inside of it when dropped from a high place. Lots of good scientific...
Curated OER
Can You Find Me?
Fourth graders participate in a parachute math game. They run under the parachute after it has been lifted, looking for a card that has an equivalent fraction or decimal on it to match the one they were given by the teacher.
Curated OER
Forces and Motion
Middle schoolers build parachutes for chicken eggs. In this physics lesson, students describe the forces acting on a falling object. They predict which of the three parachute models they made has the best chance of keeping the egg intact...
Curated OER
Action Verb Lesson
Second graders become familiar with action verbs through the reading of To Root, To Toot, to Parachute: What is a Verb? In this action word lesson, 2nd graders analyze sentences for the action verb. Students watch a video and complete a...
Curated OER
Mars Pathfinder Egg Drop and Landing
Students construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.
Santa Ana Unified School District
Lord of the Flies Unit
How does a society influence and shape individuals? Class members ponder this essential question as they read Lord of the Flies, as well as primary source materials about the historical background of the novel. As a final assessment,...
Curated OER
Community of Fun
Students discuss communities and why rules are important. In this community lesson plan, students compare and contrast communities with and without rules and play with parachutes and balls.
Curated OER
Gravity Lesson
Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. In this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.
Curated OER
Whirlybirds
Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics instructional activity, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then...
Curated OER
Count and Trace Number 1
In this number 1 learning exercise, students color a picture of a parachute, then practice tracing the number 1.

Egg-cellent Landing
The classic egg-drop experiment gets a new bounce with an activity that asks pairs to design a lander similar to one used to land a rover on Mars within a fixed budget. The activity provides a great introduction to the idea of terminal...
Curated OER
The Drag of Drag
Students are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....
Curated OER
A Lengthy Shake
Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.
Curated OER
Motion and Gravity
Third graders make parachutes to learn about gravity and the science process. In this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create parachutes and observe their flight in air. Students discuss wind and gravity for the activity.
