Parachutes

Whenever I ask my kids what they want to be, when they grow up, the answer is always the same, scientist! They are very inquisitive as most children are, always on a mission to find new experiments to do and adventures to embark on.

I make it my mission to never utter the words “I don’t know”, when they ask questions I don’t have answers for. Instead I make it into an experiment we can find the answers to together, all while we are having fun and spending quality time.

Lately the questions have been about air resistance. How do birds fly, how does different  bubble makers and parachutes work? Answering their questions lead us to actually making parachutes out of some yarn and a piece of plastic. For the skydiver we used non other then my girls’ favorite franchise, My Little Pony characters. #InspireHerMind
