Lunar Craters

We are learning about the moon! We watched clips of the first moon landing and we have been learning about how astronauts survive in space. We discovered that the lunar surface is covered in a fine powder and that lunar craters can be formed when asteroids and meteorites strike the moon. We wanted to investigate how craters are formed. We observed that craters are formed when something crashes into a dusty surface. We really enjoyed dropping the ‘asteroids’ into our ‘lunar surfaces.’
