In this science experiment, students combine flour and baby oil to create moon dust. Then, they use molds to create shapes and structures out of the moon dust and experiment with marbles or small rocks to form craters.
This download includes:
- 6 slides of background information about the Apollo 11 voyage to the moon in 1969 and what they found there
- 3 slides setting up the activity with student directions (and pictures!)
- tips for teachers to help this experiment run smoothly, including discussion questions and extensions

Your students will love playing with their moon dust and you will love that they are learning about the moon at the same time! Check the preview file for a full look at this activity.
