What can you observe when you look up at the night sky?
The activity for today is Making Moon Craters
The surface of the moon has dents on it. They're called craters! They were made when space rocks, called meteorites, crashed into it.
Fill a tray with sand or flour. Don't pack it down-the surface should be powdery, like the moon.
Gather some marbles and balls of different sizes and weights.
Drop them onto your moon surface.
Do different balls and marbles make different kinds of craters?
Does it make a difference if you drop the balls or marbles from different heights?
Try predicting the size of crater you'll make before you drop a ball. Were you right?
