Topic: Characteristics of the moon

I would tell myself that there are different types of craters. Also that there are names for the darker parts of the moon (seen and unseen by us) and lighter parts. The difference between near-side and far-side of the moon and which that faces us. The moon's composition. How craters and rilles are formed.

An experiment that we are doing is seeing how the size of the crater is affected by the size of the object crashing into class causing different types of surface features on the moon.
