| Student Manual |  This is a simple experiment, where I would like to teach students how they can quantitatively study a power law and determine the exponent in the power lab. Students will also learn about making log plots, curve fitting and as a bonus, they will realize that craters on planetary surfaces are important and interesting objects to study! |
| Sample Results | Plot of log of energy versus log of diameter |
