Task

Answers will vary. The task comes from the lesson: With a grown-up, fill a baking tray with flour. Shake a little cocoa powder on top. Drop a marble from low down, then from higher up. Look at the craters. Which is bigger? Can you see the white flour thrown out over the brown cocoa? Measure each crater with a ruler.

Look for work that uses the key words correctly and gives a reason for each point.
