Making a Parachute

My group, Anja, Louisa, and I made a parachute out of a plastic garbage bag, string, tape, and sand bags. It had to be able to hold a person or in this case, sand bags. We first tried making a small one but it didn't work. We then cut a larger garbage bag in half. Then we cut a hole in the top to make it even. We then cut holes on each corner, put enforcers around the holes and the tied a piece of string onto each whole. We then taped the three sand bags together and attached the strings to it. We had to test it so we dropped it off the stairs. It worked! This has to do with Newton's third law because there is equal pressure, pushing up and down on the bag.

I think this has to do with mission to mars because we will have to be able to balance things out. In this case is was evening out the weight. I don't have any questions right now.
