Hello parents, teachers and students! If you’re looking for fun way to explore space with your elementary aged kids, this experiment is for you!
Be sure to check out GMSA@9 on Wednesdays when Meteorologist Sarah Spivey does the demonstrations and explains the science behind it.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- A round pan
- 4 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Small/medium rocks & pebbles
DO THE EXPERIMENT
- STEP 1: Combine the flour and oil in the round pan and mix
- STEP 2: Place the rocks onto the flour mixture and note the craters that are made on the flour
- STEP 3: Next, drop a few rocks onto the flour mixture from just a couple of inches above the pan. How did the crater depth change?
- STEP 4: Finally, drop a few rocks from one or two feet above the pan. What do you notice?
