 * THE STUDY OF WHICH PAPER TOWEL BRAND MAKES THE BEST PARACHUTE **

==== The purpose of this study was to test paper towel parachutes. Air resistance, also known as drag, is the forces that are going in the opposite direction of an object in the air. Seventh Generation, Brawny, and CA paper towels were tied to an army man and dropped from the top of a stairwell. Seventh Generation paper towels made the best parachute. This is because Seventh Generation sheets were larger than CA or Brawny, and also because Seventh Generation had the second least amount of pores so that it trapped some air and let out other air. ====

==== An improvement to the experiment could be to drop the beaker from exactly 20 feet each time. Also, something stronger could be used to hold the dominoes. An experiment that could be conducted could be how many sheets of seventh generation paper towels does it take to make a parachute for an egg. Another experiment that could be conducted could be what type of paper product makes the best parachute. ====
