As the answers to the questions appeared on the blackboard, Paulina made sure to jot everything down in her notebook even though it was more or less what she had already made note of. Maybe this stuff would be on the NEWTs though goodness knows if she would even bother with Astronomy.

As different rocks were selected for the next demonstration, Paulina watched as they were placed at different heights. Obviously these results would differ from the last ones since distance from the ground played a role in crater formation.

More answers were jotted down in her notes:

SPOILER!!: Paulina's Notes

Dropping the rocks from different heights caused a variation in the sizes of the craters. 2. As with the last demonstration, the craters are all different sizes. 3. I think that the velocity of the rock is more important than the mass. The faster an object falls, the bigger the impact it has when it reaches the ground. __________________ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀
