creating craters

today i worked with kimmy to creat craters by dropping a golf ball from a certain number of inches into a pan of flour. it was really cool and we discovered that the higher your ball was dropped from teh more it sped up, therefore causing a bigger reaction/crater. it was pretty fun but very messy. we had to do three tries on each thing to make sure there was no human error. after we finished measuring things we dropped from different heights such as 36 inches and that made the deepest crater. dropping from 5 inches made a very shallow and low impact crater.
