Original Title:

Analysing Lunar Craters

Keywords:

Moon Moon’s surface craters

Description:

This activity investigates the distribution of craters on the Moon’s surface.
After assembling a mosaic of a quarter-phase Moon, students will be asked to select a number of regions to analyse in more depth, by estimating the number and size of craters visible within them. The estimates for the different regions will then be compared and an assessment made about the degree of cratering across the lunar surface.
