MISSION TO MARS

WHY I DECIDED TO GO TO MARS

WHY I DECIDED TO GO TO MARS

• THE REASON I DECIDED TO GO TO MARS IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT TO WARM OR COLD AND NOT TO HOT. IT IS ALSO THE CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN AND THE EARTH THAT IS POSSIBLE FOR HUMANS TO LIVE ON.
• ON MARS WE HOPED TO LEARN IF HUMANS COULD LIVE ON MARS AND TO SEE IF THERE WAS ENOUGH OXYGEN FOR HUMANS TO SURVIVE.

PARACHUTE PROJECT

Our class did 4 different tests. Our first test was on different canopy sizes. The sizes to use were large medium and small. We used coffee filters. For the suspension lines we used some string and we used small bulldog clips for the load.

TEST 1

For the first test our independent variable was the size of the canopy. Our controlled variables are the sizes of the suspension lines and the weight of the load.

TEST 2

On the second test our independent variable was the size of the suspension lines. The sizes we could chose form were 7 inches, 13 inches, and 21 inches. Our controlled variables were the size of the string and the weight of the load.

TEST 3

For the third test our independent variable was the material of the canopy. Our controlled variable was the length of the suspension lines and the weight of the load.

FINAL PARACHUTE

On the final test we could use any material, size, and weight for our parachute. When we were doing the tests before that was to find information that all came down to this final test. When we were testing for the first test we tested canopy size. The results proved that the largest canopy size was the best size because it caught more air then the other sizes, so my team used the largest size. On the second test we tested on the length of the strings. The test results proved that the longest string size was the best to use but, since my team used the large canopy size that would go over the packing score maximum. The maximum was 150 inches. On the third test we tested the material. Plastic was the best material to use according to our tests because it caught more air, so my team used plastic. With all of these materials, weight and size together my parachute was ready.

If I could change any variables I would change the independent variable. My independent variable would be the length of the suspension lines, because if they were longer they would catch more air.

WHAT I LEARNED

While doing this science experiment I learned a lot about teamwork and engineering. One thing I learned is that there should always be a plan and a process. If you don't have a plan or a process thing will get confusing and unorganized. Another thing I learned from this is that you should never say thing like no that is a horrible idea, you should instead say, well maybe you can improve that by... Instead of reprimanding them. One other thing I learned is that if you want to get the best results then you should have patience and not rush what you are testing. To make a good result you should get slim with your teammates, have a plan and a process, and don't rush that process.
