✍️ Description
This ready-to-use teacher pack contains a complete science project for bilingual lower secondary students (Year 2, ages 13–14). Based on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous parachute sketch, students design, build, and test parachutes while exploring the forces of gravity, air resistance, and motion.

The pack includes:
A teacher guide with lesson flow, CLIL integration, differentiation tips, and assessment ideas.
A student worksheet with clear instructions for three experiments.
Language support (CEFR B1) with frames for comparing, explaining, and reflecting.

Designed as a hands-on group project (pairs or small teams), this activity combines history, science, and language learning in an engaging CLIL context.
