Look Out A Meteoroid Is Coming!!

How much damage might it do? Well that’s your job to determine, as you create an experiment to identify the variables that most influence the impact. This activity reviews the basics of the scientific method while looking at a common Hollywood theme.

Brainstorm some ideas, narrow your focus, research your topic, and then design your experiment. Be practical; this must be something you can actually conduct in class with simple materials. I have a few items you can use but anything else you’ll need to provide. It must be safe and have measurable results that answer your key question.

NASA is a great resource for information on space and I’ll bet they even have some info to help with your experiment. While you are exploring that site be sure to visit NASA TV. We’ll be watching some during class.
