Today in science, the students continued learning about the physical characteristics of the moon including CRATERS! The children learned why there are more craters on the moon than the Earth ... ask your child to tell you too! There are not many craters on Earth, but "meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between a piece of an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago," and is the most well preserved crater on Earth -- right here in the USA in Arizona.
