Making a Lunar Landscape
Select pebbles of varying sizes (these are the “meteoroids”).
Wrap them in foil to make them round.
Une the tray with aluminum foil so that the plaster does
not stick to the tray.
Empty the plaster of Paris into the foliined tray and spread
it evenly on the bottom. Level the surface of the plaster.
Slowly pour water from a jug or measuring cup into the
powder. Do not take too long or the plaster will set before
you are ready. If the mixture is too thin, add more plaster.
Wait for the plaster to thicken, but not set.
Spread newspapers or garbage bags on the floor.
Place the foil-ined tray on top of the newspapers.
Drop the pebbles (meteoroids) from chest height into
the tray.
Carefully lift out the pebbles.
Make a few rilis and marias. (Use spoons to form these
features.)
Wait for the plaster fo dry, then carefully remove it from
the tray. You have created a lunar landscape!
Paint your lunar landscape so that it more closely
resembles the surface of the moon.
