Making Regolith

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon? In this lesson, learners investigate the effects of micrometeoroid bombardment on simulated regolith formation and develop a conclusion by making inferences about properties of regolith based upon observations.
