Kids' Astronomy: the Moon

 Just a few pictures from from our class on the moon.

I mean, we weren't actually on the moon, but, you get the idea!

Moon crater experiment: dropping rocks onto flour dusted with cocoa.

 Explaining tides: the round blue pot holder is the Earth, the black rope is the water.

Explaining moon phases with a ball of yarn stuck on a knitting needle.

 Drawing moon phases.

I love how into this kids get!






We also did the moon jump.  You mark how far the kids jump, then multiply it by 6 and mark again how far their jump would carry them on the moon!

The full class is here.
