# Science - investigating air resistance

   11 October 2023   [Class Three](https://www.st-andrews-cliftoncampville.staffs.sch.uk/blog/category/class-three)

We had great fun this afternoon in Class 3, making our parachutes to investigate air resistance. We were trying to find out the effect of surface area on the amount of air resistance produced.

There are some good action shots!
