Students weigh a small plastic bead to determine the effect mass has upon crater diameter. | Students work in pairs to measure the diameter of the impact crater made by dropping a small bead into a tray of sand. |
Pupils examine stereograms of craters on Mars and on the Earth's moon. | Teams of students worked together to determine the effect velocity has on the size of an impact crater. |
Groups enter their data on a chart. | Mrs. Stevens' eighth grade Earth Science class watches the live broadcast of "Countdown." We were very excited when one of our questions was answered on the program. |
