The Kraul Parachute Experiment Kit is a hands-on STEM science kit that invites children to build and test five different parachutes using tissue paper and real silk. By comparing h ow each design falls through the air, children discover for themselves how gravity, air resistance, and material weight all play their part — learning about cause and effect, physics, and motion in a wonderfully practical way.A thoughtful choice for home education, classroom learning, or any young engineer who loves to experiment, observe, and problem-solve. Why We Love It The inclusion of real silk alongside tissue paper gives children a genuine material comparison to work with — it's a small detail that makes the science feel tangible and real. We love that the kit goes beyond the activity itself, weaving in the history of skydiving and a connection to the Apollo 15 mission — it gives curious minds so much more to explore. Adult help is recommended for younger children, making this a lovely opportunity for shared discovery between a child and a grown-up.
