Our Battered Moon
Damonte, Kathleen
Science and Children, v42 n1 p47-48 Sep 2004
Most people have probably heard the tale about the Moon being made out of Swiss cheese because, on Earth, the Moon looks like it is full of holes. Those holes are actually impact craters, circular depressions that formed when objects, such as rocks that orbit the Sun, smashed into the surface of the Moon. The activity described in this article, provides students, with the opportunity to investigate how those craters formed.
