Lab 11

1. Find information on the history of the parachute and how a parachute works.
Da Vinci is given credit for being the first person to come up with the idea of a cloth that would lower man as a maximum drag decelerator. By the 1800's people that used parachutes were known as dare devils. As planes started to develop in the early 1900's people started to jump out of them and use their silk parachutes to guide them safely to the ground. A parachute works because of its huge surface area. This creates drag and gently lowers its user safely to the ground.
2. Create a parachute routine composed of various parachute activities learned in class.
I would start off with ripples, waves, and storm. Then make a cloud to stepping under. I would then do an Igloo game incorporate games inside. Depending on the class I would then do Cook a Healthy Soup. I would then incorporate some more fitness activities so that I could end with an Air Conditioning activity.
3. Practice the yoga routine for a week and keep journal of how you feel.
4. Use pictures to diagram each pose in the Salute to the Sun yoga routine.
