1.18 describe experiments to investigate the forces acting on falling objects, such as sycamore seeds or parachutes

- Make/obtain 5 paper parachutes that each have a different surface area.
- Drop each of the 5 parachutes 3 times from a given height (e.g. 2m)
- Time how long it takes for the parachute to reach the floor
- Find a mean time for each parachute (add up each of the 3 times and divide the number by 3). You should now have 5 values.
- Plot the values in a graph with size of parachute along the X-axis (in cm²) and time along the Y-axis (in s)
- Draw a line of best fit
