Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
First, add 4 cups of flour to your round cake pan.
Tip
Adding the dry ingredients first and then the wet ones minimizes the mess!
Step 2
Then add one half cup of oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients. You can mix it with a spoon or a spatula but mixing with your hands works just as well. Pat the mixture down flat with your hands. Try to make it as smooth as possible. Now you have your moon surface!
Step 4
You might want to lay a few paper towels down; this step might get a little messy. Put your pan down on a flat surface like a table or the floor and drop your small rocks or pebbles onto the surface. Take a closer look - what kind of craters are created?
Final result!
Try changing up the height of the drop. How do the craters change? Look up a picture of the moon. Does your home-made moon surface look similar?
