We LOVE Science!! (April 17, 2008)

We performed the COOLEST science experiment! (All science experiments that require goggles are cool!!) Since we are studying the solar system, we decided to figure out how moon craters are created. So, taking some sand, marbles, and a meter stick, we dropped our marbles from different heights and measured the created craters' diameters. Then we used BIGGER marbles...and to our supreme happiness....they made even bigger holes!! So, we found out the higher and bigger the marble, the deeper and wider the crater!!


Measuring their crater.....

Getting ready to drop the marble from the specified height.

Do you see his marble in mid-air? He made me retake this picture until I finally got it right!! :)






Mrs. Lamb is reviewing the day's lesson.
