Crater activity

In class we were first instructed to draw a model of the Earth in the different layers. In the picture I drew I made a representation of Marquette showing the mountain to the city and then to the beach going deep to the bottom of the lake.
Next we made a model of a crater using plastic clear plates and play dough. we traced each level of the crater onto separate plates and then stacked them using the play dough as a separator to see a 3D version of the crate. I thought it was a pretty cool activity and I also liked that if you flipped the plate over ti could be a representation of a mountain.
