Paulo is a young boy living in Brazil. His mother is an aerospace engineer and he discovers that her expertise can help him solve a problem related to gravity.
With the knowledge he gains about drag, a force that all aerospace engineers come to know well, he must develop a technology to save something from falling and breaking!
Key Vocabulary: aerospace engineer, gravity, drag, force, parachute, suspension lines, canopy, rocket, body tube, fins, nose cone, lift, controlled experiment, criteria, constraints, Newton's Laws of Motion, space, atmosphere, aircraft, and spacecraft.
