In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.
