KS3 Year 8 Forces |Physics Interactive Experiment : Parachutes

“ Parachute Race : Forces” is an interactive, Genially-powered digital lab game designed for secondary (KS3) science classrooms.

This digital experiment brings classic parachute practicals to life! Students step into the virtual lab to investigate air resistance, drag, and surface area through hands-on testing. To complete the challenge, they must ıdentify variables in a fair test, drop different size parachutes from the same height,
record fall times and analyze how increasing the parachute surface area increases air resistance and slows down the fall.

Through this engaging simulation, students master essential core concepts of forces and data analysis. Teachers can easily use this activity as a core lab investigation, a starter task, or an end-of-unit assessment for Year 8 students to reinforce scientific inquiry skills or as a powerful retrieval/review tool for Year 9 students to reactivate prior knowledge at the start of a new physics topic!
