This scene explores the structure of the Moon. By interacting with the Moon, and moving the various components of the Moon, its structure can be observed.
# Learning objectives
Be able to describe the structure of the Moon{.info}
Be able to identify the different parts of the Moon{.info}
# The Surface{.objective .objective1}
The characteristics of the surface of the Moon will be described. How historic volcanic activity and crater collisions shaped the crust of the moon will be outlined.
# Just Below the Surface{.objective .objective2}
This section will outline the layer below the surface, the mantle. A comparison to Earth's mantle will be provided and a theory of its formation will be outlined. As the Moon is believed to have formed after a giant collision of a space object and Earth, the fragments collapsed together to form the Moon, which included fragments of the Earth.
# Inner Most Structure{.objective .objective3}
This section outlines the structure of the inner most parts of the Moon: The partial melt, outer core and inner core. Again, due to fragments of Earth believed to make up part of the Moon, a comparison to Earth is outlined.
