== Additional Information == * For high school students, this demonstration would pair well with any videos or simulations of meteor impacts with the earth. That way, it helps them to see the increase in effect as the size of the object gets larger. * You can ask students why the craters on the moon stay around, while any craters on earth do not. Encourage them to think about geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanoes, or processes such as the water cycle and erosion. * You can also try having an object drop into sand while in a vacuum, to show how collision with air affects the creation of craters. * This demonstration is a part of the [[Astronomy Show]].
