Discuss the field of aerospace engineering and introduce concepts of atmosphere, drag, and gravity.  

Review how parachutes work and relate standard 5.6 to the story.  
The teacher edition and student sheets do not explicitly teach this standard so you will need to find ways to integrate this in the AMSTI lesson (if you need additional activities look on this padlet under planning documents- instructional tasks to supplement your curriculum).
