Forces on a parachutist

Forces: Forces and motion
Resource type
Student activity
A KS4 resource helps students examine the forces acting on a parachutist by breaking it down into stages. Each slide has an image and prompt questions to promote class discussion relating to the forces, gravity and air resistance, on the parachutist.
To summarise the students draw a cartoon strip with guidance on what they should include. There is a link to a short video that shows how the forces change during the jump.
