Lesson 1: Engage
Step 1: Watch the "Meteoroids, meteors, meteorites: What is the science behind impact crater formation?" video for an introduction to Impact Craters .
Step 2: Watch the video "Studying How Craters Are Made: The Planetary Impact Lab" to see people who study impact craters and how they set up their investigations.
Step 3: Make a copy and complete the Studio Overview Reflection
Step 4: Submit to Slate when complete

The Final Performance Task
The Final Performance Task
Because this studio gives you the opportunity to complete ALL of the science competencies one time, you will have several Performance Tasks, such as:
Creating and executing your own investigation about Impact Craters
Analyzing your data and creating a proper graph
Developing a Model. From the very beginning, you will begin to develop a model about some aspect of the phenomenon of impact craters, and will develop a final model that shows the relationships between at least 2 systems.
Writing a technical paper about the topic
Overall, your products above should demonstrate that you have deepened your learning of the subject and show your own unique perspectives and deeper questions.
