Comet Cratering
Students measure craters. In this crater lesson, students make a flat surface of flour and drop different size craters from different heights. They measure each of the craters to see how height, size and mass affects the crater size.
Curated OER
Impact Craters: Holes in the Ground!
Students simulate crater formation through a lab activity. In this space science lesson, students calculate how much energy is transferred during meteorite impact. They identify different factors affecting the size and depth of craters...
Curated OER
TARGET EARTH
Students explore the possibility of an asteroid hitting planet earth. In this planetary lesson students complete a lab activity to see the effects of an asteroid hitting earth and compare different craters.
Curated OER
Making Craters
Students study craters and identify the different things that characterize craters. In this crater lesson students create a model of an impact crater.
Curated OER
Crater Creation
Students examine the Oregon state quarter and discuss how Crater Lake was formed-geologically and according to Native American legend. They practice making predictions and identifying the beginning, middle, and end of a story.
Curated OER
Moon Craters Lab
Students explore characteristics of mass. In this scientific inquiry about mass lesson, students drop rocks of different weights from various heights and record the depth of the "crater" created. Students record their findings on a data...
