This book is about the Universe, fun and educational activities related to the Universe, the Moon and Moon craters.

Moon craters

Stars pattern

After we prepared everything necessary for the experiment, we started with great excitement! First, we put flour in the container and leveled the surface with a ruler. We added cocoa to that and leveled everything again. With this, we recreated the surface of the Moon. Then we divided into teams and assigned tasks to each other. Some students photographed and recorded everything, some students threw objects from a certain height, some students measured the depth and width of the resulting hole.

We decided to try making craters ourselves and started the experiment. For the experiment we needed:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a larger rectangular container, flour (approx. 3 kg), cocoa (approx. 300 g),&nbsp;a ruler, several objects of different sizes and weights and a meter.

The last joint activity was related to space. Our topic was Moon Craters. We carried out the activities for a week.

Then we watched a presentation about the Moon where we learned more about its craters. We learned that although there is no water on the Moon, we can find seas as well as craters. Also, we learned which side of the Moon we see and saw the differences between the South and North Poles of the Moon. In pairs, we drew the poles of the Moon to get the whole Moon.

We started with a presentation in order to learn as much as possible about the Universe and the Moon itself. Then we drew a part of the Universe and the spacecraft that would take us to the Universe.
