Investigating Impact Craters—Super Value Kit

Product Details

Gaze at a full moon on a clear night and you’ll notice circular features that can easily be seen. These circular impact craters were created on the moon by space debris striking the surface. In this activity, students study crater formation and explore how depth and diameter are affected by a meteorite’s mass, diameter, and velocity. Students develop scientific practices as they investigate questions, collect and analyze data, make observations, and draw conclusions. Bring space science down to Earth with this engaging hands-on activity!

Super Value Kit is complete for eight student groups. All materials are reusable!
