As a class we have a science topic of space. Today we did a very messy but fun experiment. We were discovering how meteorite craters are affected by the depth of the sand. To carry out this experiment our group did the following;

We got tubs and changed the amount of sand in them to see the affect it would have on the crater. We then dropped a marble from the height of 30cm and it formed a crater.  The result turned out to be that the tub that was half full had the biggest crater. It measured 1.5cm.

We really enjoyed this and hope that we will do more like this in the future!
