Research Questions

The present study attempted to determine change in elementary student teachers' levels of understanding of the concepts of Air Resistance, Terminal Velocity, Gravity and Acceleration as a function of engagement in a “Model Parachute Race” activity.
In this study, we examined the research question below:

What effect did the “Model Parachute Race” activity have on elementary student teachers' levels of understanding of concepts such as Air Resistance, Gravity, Terminal Velocity and Acceleration?
