A fun experiment for students to see how craters are formed but also gives them some decision-making skills when deciding how to measure their final products.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much for the awesome resource! My students loved it so much!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the conclusion portion of this experiment! Often, I don’t feel my students take the time to thoroughly reflect back on their data to analyze it in detail. This sets them up to do that while integrating writing.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My students enjoyed this activity, and I really liked that there was some student choice involved. Thank you!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great resource. This resource is a great activity to reinforce the Scientific Method.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
