  • Yep. If you use 3 sponges like in the video, you'd probably want a parachute bigger than a handkerchief, though. Maybe 24" square would be good.

  • I'm not sure. We didn't weigh it when we did the experiment. They weighed it in the class, but I never wrote it down. Sorry. :-(

  • I think I got them at Lowes or Home Depot.

  • You can copy the idea (not the video). It worked great! :-)

  • Use it how?
