Austin grinned at his two thumbs up. It didn't get him any points, but it still meant he did a good job. If he wanted to gain points, he really was going to have to impress the Admiral. For now he copied the blackboard, making sure to add the small foot hands. He was going to need to remember these names later.

SPOILER!!: Austin's notes

After that, he watched as the Admiral let three different rocks fall to the ground. The more he sat in this lesson, the more he wished he could have one. It would be so cool to keep a pet rock in your pocket. I wonder what they eat? Since he wasn't up for making himself known to the world, he decided it was best to write down his answer on paper.

1. Dwayne created the largest crater.
2. The only difference is the size of the rock
3. The importance of the mass is that that determines how fast the meteorite falls, and how big the crater is.

He looked down at the sand again. That was a lot of sand for such a small demonstration. Hopefully the Admiral wasn't going to let any of them fall to the ground like that. Sand may work against pet rocks, but not with humans.

SPOILER!!: Austin's notes The difference all comes down to a question of location. Each are made of the same basic materials – minerals and rock – and each originated in space. asteroid A large rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun. Asteroids are always found in space. meteoroids meterOID is in the VOID A much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the Sun. meteors meteOR above you SOARs If a meteoroid or asteroid enters the Earth’s atmosphere and vaporizes, it becomes a meteor, which is often mislabeled a shooting star. meteorites meteorITE is in your SIGHT If an asteroid or large meteoroid survives its fiery passage through the Earth’s atmosphere and lands on Earth’s surface, it is then called a meteorite.
