Team Results

MSIP team led by Mrs. McLellan

Teacher Name: Mrs. McLellan
School Name: Meadow Creek Christian School
Grade Level: 7th Grade
City: Andover
State: Minnesota
Country: United States

Science Question:
What is the difference in size and shape of ejecta of a crater in the North Pole compared to the ejecta of a crater of about the same size in the Southern Hemisphere?
Main Results:
1) There was a difference in size of the two craters' ejecta we studied.

2) There was a difference in shape of the two craters' ejecta.

3) We suspect that the difference may have something to do with the Southern hemisphere being highlands and the North Pole being low lands.

Meadow Creek Christian School Final Report

Extra Comments:
1) Although our team's question is answered, there is plenty of room for more research.

2) A new question could be "Why are the ejects different in the North Pole from the ejects of the Southern Hemisphere?"

3) We chose our question because we where interested in the difference between the Northern Lowlands and the Southern Highlands.
