Student Project: Make a Moon Crater
Look at the Moon. Can you see those circular shapes all across the face of the Moon and the lines extending from them? Those circular shapes are craters and the lines are “ejecta rays” made from material blasted out of the crater.
These craters formed when rocks or comets from space smashed into the surface of the Moon. The impact was so powerful that it pulverized the ground – creating what we call regolith – and sprayed it out to form those ejecta rays.
You can make craters like those on the Moon using simple baking ingredients!
