We spent an afternoon being scientists investigating and researching about Moons. Earth's moon had craters on it.. These are caused by meteorites (rocks, ice) hitting the moon. They are many different sizes. There is many rocks in space and some just bounce off, others hit!!! Because there is no air on the moon any craters made remain there unchanged and so have been named.
We made a mess and discovered how craters were made!! Using flour, sprinkes cocoa and dropping marbles, tennis ball and other objects we made predictions, then did lots of gasping as we made discoveries!!
