These can be based on your individual experience and/or group discussion.]]> 2021-07-28 05:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1662810626 Padlet tips demoree https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1662810627 How to add a new post: scroll to the bottom of the column and click the + button below the last post.

Ultimately, the "payload" fell slower with the chute than without it. ]]> 2021-08-04 21:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669295837 Different length of strings changed the effectiveness. karengerdes https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669296052 2021-08-04 21:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669296052 If changing the number of strings will change the effectiveness. karengerdes https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669296224 2021-08-04 21:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669296224 https://padlet.com/demoree/5q6u0lh4p0py2w6i/wish/1669296579 We wonder how you can direct where the chute will fall.  
Also, what is the equation (or how are they determining) how large to make the chute for the "payload"?
We wonder "how fast is too fast" for an object to fall before the "payload" is damaged?
