Why is this written as if that statement is just another opinion? What does the actual law say about the matter?

yeah - tear drop shape, and I think the heaviest was 2.5 oz (I have them first weigh in g) Screening out pebbles and smoothing sand surface is better and have them measure rim-to-rim "as self-consistently as possible" Powder is a good idea -or with something like alternating layers of colored sand

one of the things I want to them to see is the effect of kinetic energy in impact geology and conversion of these high energies into (effectively) the violent excavation of the target surface

I have a short class activity exploring the mechanics of impact crater formation and crater morphology. First they drop small weights (fishing sinkers work well!) from various heights into sand beds and record crater diameters as a function of m,g,z, etc. Then end with lighting some firecrackers...

slow-motion capture from a student's phone:

it's something that existed in the population long before widespread recognition - so better diagnosis (and hopefully removal of stigma) would make it seem like there's a huge increase in its occurrence (whether or not that's actually the case...)

To conclude, it looks like the Moon was moved around to give a nice backdrop(s) for the bridge scene ; )

A silly activity but a fun way to review some of the concepts we've been exploring in intro astronomy in order to better understand the relative motions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon!

But in the next scene we see our main character(s) on or near what appears to be the "padlock bridge" on the Seine. We again see the Moon roughly aligned with the river. But the river runs SE-NW here(!) The timing and geometry therefore make it impossible to have the full Moon in this scene.

Next, we have a nice shot of the Eiffel Tower with the bright gray full moon in the background. I'm not sure exactly where this is taken from, but the placement of the river suggests from somewhere around the Galeries area(?) That would put the Moon low in the ~southern sky - which is good!

BTW, in these scenes the Moon appears very bright whitish-gray (the way it looks when it's high in the sky), showing essentially no yellowish or reddish coloration from the atmospheric scattering that might be expected at relatively low altitudes (on the order of ~5 degrees here?)

The next scene where we see the Moon has to be sometime between 130am and 4am. Here the Moon is relatively low in the sky - a more realistic altitude, but a huge shift in position compared to the previous scene - when when the maximum distance the Moon could have moved is roughly ~45 degrees.

Okay: the first issue is that of the Moon's altitude. It is 130 am, and suggested to be midsummer. Belly looks (very) high into the sky and notes a full moon. But at Paris' 48.9N, the highest altitude the Moon could be (near solstice) is about 23 degrees above the horizon ~[90-(48.9+23.5-5)]
