Moon-Crater Impact Tray
Professor O will help you learn: Dropping balls into a tray of flour shows how meteorites smashing into the Moon made its craters, and lets you test how the size and drop height of a space rock changes the crater it leaves.
⚠️ This is a messy, floury activity, so lay newspaper down and do it somewhere easy to sweep up.
