Projects Mrs.Terranova's class did:

We took a box and we put cornstarch, then we made it smooth, then we dropped a golf ball, a ping pong ball, a tennis ball, then we dropped all the balls in at a time to see how it made a crater.

We also did another project; we took a paper plate and drew a sun in the middle, then we drew the earth and attached it to the sun.
