STEM at Home — Space Science Exploration Kit
Explore moon phases, crater impacts, and the scale of the solar system — all from your kitchen table! Pairs directly with EdTech Academy's Workshop 8: Space Science — Moon Phases, Craters & the Solar System (July STEM Workshops 2026).
Students model all 8 moon phases using Oreo cookies, simulate meteorite impacts in a flour crater lab, and explore the true scale of the solar system. The most fun an Oreo has ever had in a science class.
Kit includes:
Oreo cookies (8 — for moon phase modeling)
Moon phase reference chart (8 phases labeled)
Craft tray (for crater simulation)
Impact spheres / marbles (4 sizes)
Ruler
Solar system scale reference card
7-night moon observation journal (printable insert)
Instruction card with experiment guide
Student supplies at home: Flour (2 cups), pencil
