They need to use the same rocks from the backyard. You can’t compare different types of rocks. Just because it appears to shrink doesn’t mean it actually did. You need real data of what the mass of the rocks were before the rainstorm. 2. Using what Christopher and Kate have already observed‚ suggest a possible hypothesis
