Make an impact!!!

Guiding Question: What are the factors that affect the appearance of impact craters? How do scientists use craters to tell the relative age of them?

Hypothesis: I think that the higher the marble is to be dropped, the deeper the crater is.

Data Analysis: The higher we put the marble the deeper the crater was. The diameter also also got bigger. When we dropped the marble from 200 cm the depth was at least 1.4 cm and the diameter was 2.6.
