Earth's Moon Crater Drop

Flour.
Glass beads.
These supplies on their own could have kept O busy all afternoon.
She loves getting her hands into textures.

Our purpose was to make mock moon craters, courtesy of 'The Exploration Station'

By simply dropping smooth glass beads into smooth flour, it began to look like the moon's surface.
Marbles might have not only been more effective, but demonstrated comparison of crater size as well.

The Exploration Station sets up a second experiment, using cocoa powder on flour to demonstrate one of Jupiter's 39 moon's, Callisto's surface.

O was quite content to then hide the glass beads in flour and sift it through her fingers.
