Parachute in the Tree

Today we got the chance to make, design and test out our parachutes that we had made. It was very exciting designing the parachutes and when Rangi ( my partner ) and I finally finished our parachute we tested it out.

There was a lot of smoke and was making a bigger flames.

Record your observations and data colour change, That there were a lot of ashes. And there was a colour change of white to greyish.
