Phases of the moon
The phases of the Moon are caused by the Moon orbiting the Earth while the Moon and Earth both orbit the Sun. The different phases are: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter. As the Moon revolves around the Earth over approximately 28 days, the angle of illumination by the Sun changes, resulting in different portions of the Moon appearing lighted from Earth's perspective.
Phases of the moon
The document describes the eight phases of the moon:
1) New moon - When the moon is between the sun and earth so we cannot see it.
2) Waxing crescent - After a few days we can see half of the illuminated side of the moon.
3) First quarter - Half of the moon is illuminated after about a week.
4) Waxing gibbous - More than half is illuminated two or three days after the first quarter.
5) Full moon - The entire near side is illuminated about two weeks after the new moon.
Interesting Facts about the Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and orbits our planet at a distance of about 384,000 kilometers. Though smaller than Earth, the Moon has a diameter of approximately 3,476 kilometers. The Moon revolves around Earth in a westward direction and appears differently throughout its monthly phases as the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun change. During a new moon, the side of the Moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the Sun.

The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that as the moon orbits the Earth over 28 days, the angle of illumination changes from our perspective, causing it to appear to go through eight phases from new moon to full moon and back again. These phases include the waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. Diagrams and a modeling activity are provided to illustrate how the changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun cause the moon to appear to change shape over the course of its orbit.
Lunar Cycle ppt cscope
The document discusses the phases of the moon and how they relate to eclipses. It begins by introducing the goal of identifying moon phases and their relationship to eclipses. It then provides memory devices and descriptions to help remember the order and names of the phases as the lit portion of the moon waxes and wanes over the course of a lunar month. Key phases discussed include the new moon, waxing and waning crescent/gibbous, first and third quarter, and full moon. It notes that solar and lunar eclipses can occur during new and full moons respectively.
Moon Powerpoint
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon has 8 phases: full moon, waning gibbous moon, last quarter moon, waning crescent moon, new moon, waxing crescent moon, first quarter moon, and waxing gibbous moon. Diagrams are provided to illustrate each phase. The document also includes an animation link to demonstrate how the moon's appearance changes through its phases over the lunar cycle.
The Moon & Its Phases
The moon goes through eight phases in a cycle that repeats every 27 days and 8 hours. The phases are caused by the changing orientation of the moon in relation to the Earth and sun, and the amount of sunlight that reflects off the moon's surface and is visible from Earth. The moon does not produce its own light but shines due to reflected sunlight. The document discusses the moon's phases and cycle, how its appearance changes nightly, and how the moon rotates to always keep the same face toward Earth.
The moon
The moon revolves around Earth once every 27 days, keeping the same side facing Earth. It reflects sunlight and its illuminated half changes shape in a cycle from new moon to first quarter to full moon to third quarter over 291⁄2 days. The moon is the closest celestial object to Earth at 384,000 km away. It has many impact craters and temperature extremes ranging from 127°C during the day to -173°C at night. Telescopes allow observation of details on the moon's surface.

Phases of the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon and how the moon appears to change shape over the course of a month as the sun illuminates different parts of the moon. It explains that as the moon orbits Earth, we only see one side, and its appearance ranges from a new moon with no illumination to a full moon that is fully illuminated. The phases - new moon, waxing crescent, quarter moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, and waning crescent - are defined in order according to the portion that is illuminated by the sun.
Moon phases
The phases of the Moon are caused by the different angles at which we see the Moon as it orbits Earth and revolves around it. As it revolves, sometimes the illuminated half faces Earth, appearing as a full Moon, and other times none of the illuminated half can be seen from Earth, appearing as a new Moon. There are eight phases in total that the Moon cycles through - from new to waxing crescent to first quarter to waxing gibbous to full to waning gibbous to last quarter to waning crescent and back to new again.
Phases Of The Moon
The document discusses the different phases of the moon as seen from Earth. There are three main phases: the full moon where the entire lit side is visible, the quarter moon where half of the lit side is visible, and the crescent moon where only a sliver of the lit side is visible. The moon's appearance changes not because the moon itself changes, but because of the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun relative to one another throughout the lunar cycle.
The Moon phases
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It explains that the moon appears to have phases because it revolves around Earth while also rotating on its axis. As the moon orbits Earth in its elliptical path, the angle of the sunlit side facing Earth changes, leading to different portions being illuminated and visible from Earth over the course of a lunar cycle. The document outlines the eight main phases of the moon - new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent - and provides a brief description and illustration of each phase.
The moon
The moon was formed from debris after a collision between Earth and another object early in its formation. It revolves around Earth while rotating on its axis, so the same side always faces Earth. The moon has no atmosphere and one-sixth the gravity of Earth. It does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight. The changing appearance of the moon's illuminated side from our perspective on Earth causes the monthly cycle of moon phases as the relative positions of Earth, moon, and sun shift.
Exam review
The document summarizes key concepts about the solar system, seasons, the moon, and eclipses. It explains that the Earth's tilted axis causes seasons as different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. It also describes how the moon's phases occur as the moon orbits Earth and rotates on its axis, always showing Earth the same side. Finally, it defines eclipses as shadows cast by celestial bodies and notes that lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes through Earth's shadow, while solar eclipses happen when the moon blocks sunlight from reaching parts of Earth.

The document summarizes the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth. It discusses that the Moon revolves around Earth every 28 days while rotating on its axis also every 28 days, so the same side always faces Earth. It describes the four major lunar phases that repeat every 29.5 days: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter. Each phase represents a different portion of the Moon that appears illuminated from our perspective on Earth due to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun.
Phases of the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon, beginning with the New Moon phase where the illuminated side faces away from Earth. It then explains the order and characteristics of the subsequent phases: Waxing Crescent where a small portion is lit, First Quarter where half is lit on the right side, Waxing Gibbous where nearly all of the right side is lit, Full Moon where the entire side facing Earth is illuminated, Waning Gibbous where the left side becomes illuminated, Last Quarter where half is lit on the left, and Waning Crescent where a small portion on the left remains lit before repeating the cycle.

This document summarizes key concepts about the Sun-Earth-Moon system. It defines important terms like rotation, revolution, and ellipses. It explains that Earth rotates on its axis daily and revolves around the sun yearly in an elliptical orbit. The Moon rotates once every 27.3 days as it revolves around Earth, so we always see the same side. The phases of the Moon - new, waxing, quarter, gibbous, full, waning, last quarter - depend on the positions of the Moon, Earth and Sun.
Moon phases
The moon orbits around the Earth rather than the Sun. The different phases of the moon, such as new, crescent, quarter, gibbous, and full, are caused by the changing orientation of the illuminated half of the moon relative to the Earth and Sun over the course of its orbit. The moon progresses through eight phases from new to full and back to new over the course of around 29.5 days as it orbits the Earth.
Phases of the moon
The phases of the moon are caused by the changing position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, with half the Moon's surface always reflecting sunlight. As seen from Earth, the amount of the Moon's lit surface changes over a cycle from new moon to full moon and back again, known as waxing and waning, with the main phases being new, crescent, quarter, and full moons.
Sp11 -notes--moon and eclipses
1) The Earth, Sun and Moon exist in a complex system of orbits where the Moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth revolves around the Sun.
2) As the Moon orbits the Earth, the illuminated portion that we see from Earth changes in a cycle called phases, ranging from new moon to full moon and back over about two weeks.
3) Lunar and solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, casting its shadow on either the Moon or Earth, and can be total or partial depending on the alignment of the three bodies.

The document describes lunar and solar eclipses. It explains that lunar eclipses occur during a full moon when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, making it appear dark red. Solar eclipses happen during a new moon phase when the moon passes between the Earth and sun, blocking the sun's light. Eclipses only occur when the moon's orbit aligns it directly behind or in front of Earth relative to the sun. The simulation allows viewing eclipses from different angles to understand how they occur.

Sun, Earth and Moon System
This assignment requires that you print this file that you answer on the last 2 printed sheets. Staple those 2 sheets together and bring them to class on 26 February.
READ CAREFULLY the description of this work. Remember that Earth orbits around the Sun and Moon orbits around the Earth. The other motion that we are going to consider is the Earth’s spin around its axis. A good idea is to view again the video "Why does the moon change shape? “
The Earth and the Sun: Daily (Diurnal) Motion
Pretend your head is the Earth, and your eyes are you looking up into the sky from Earth’s Northern Hemisphere. Imagine a bright light in the front of the room to represent the Sun. To represent the Earth spinning on its axis, stand up and turn around COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (as seen from above). As you turn, the time of day at the location of your eyes changes. One complete turn of your head (360 degrees) represents 24 hours.
Although the exact rising and setting times (and thus the duration of the day) depend on the time of the year and on the location on Earth, for this assignment we consider the day equally divided by sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight.
Now you can answer question 1, remember that here you are studying the Earth’s daily (24 hours) motion, so that the position of Earth with respect to the Sun can be considered fixed.
1. On your assignment answer sheet, make four simple drawings of the Earth and the light rays from the Sun, clearly showing your location on Earth at sunrise, sunset, noon and midnight. The viewpoint for all drawings should be looking down on the Earth from far above the North Pole. Show the direction in which the Earth is spinning. (Note: in this and following questions some marks will be deducted if the arrows are missing).
The Motion and Phases of the Moon
Now pretend that you have a tennis ball next to your head representing the Moon (Your head and the tennis ball are the same relative size as the Earth and the Moon). We are going to recreate the phases of the Moon (its changing appearance with time) as seen from Earth. When the Moon’s phase is full, its entire surface as seen from the Earth is lit by the Sun.
2. Sketch the relative positions of the Earth, Moon and the Sun rays when the Moon is full. The moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth spins (see question 1); indicate this direction with an arrow. In a second sketch show the position of Earth, Moon and the Sun rays when it is a new Moon (when none of its surface as seen from the Earth is lit up by the Sun).
3. About what time is it for you when the full Moon is highest in the sky ? For question 3, turn around as you have done in question 1 and find out what time is it for you when the full Moon is highest in the sky (when you are looking at the tennis ball straight ahead).
4. Now turn yourself counterclockwise until the tennis ball is just about to disappear from view; that is, when the Mo.

We are going to recreate the phases of the Moon (its changing appearance with time) as seen from Earth. When the Moon’s phase is full, its entire surface as seen from the Earth is lit by the Sun.
2. Sketch the relative positions of the Earth, Moon and the Sun rays when the Moon is full. The moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth spins (see question 1); indicate this direction with an arrow. In a second sketch show the position of Earth, Moon and the Sun rays when it is a new Moon (when none of its surface as seen from the Earth is lit up by the Sun).
3. About what time is it for you when the full Moon is highest in the sky ? For question 3, turn around as you have done in question 1 and find out what time is it for you when the full Moon is highest in the sky (when you are looking at the tennis ball straight ahead).
4. Now turn yourself counterclockwise until the tennis ball is just about to disappear from view; that is, when the Mo.

Science for grade 5 quarter 4 day 1 to 4 power point presentation
S2U2 SCIENCE PPT (NATURE PATTERNS)
This document discusses patterns in nature and day and night cycles. It explains that the moon's shape appears to change due to its elliptical orbit around Earth and how the illuminated portion we see depends on where the moon is in its orbit. Common moon phases like full moon, new moon, crescent, and gibbous are demonstrated. The document also notes that the moon reflects sunlight and discusses waxing and waning patterns over the course of a month.
COT Science 5 Q4 Wk7.pptx
The document discusses the phases of the moon, which are caused by the changing position of the moon in its orbit around Earth. It describes the eight main phases - new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. A model is presented using a globe, flashlight, and ball to demonstrate how the illuminated portion of the moon appears to change from Earth's perspective over the course of a lunar month.
cot science 5 quarter 4.pptx
The document discusses the phases of the moon. It begins with an introduction to the moon and its phases. It then provides details on each phase of the moon - New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. Activities are included, such as a modeling activity to demonstrate how the moon orbits the Earth. The document concludes with recapping the phases of the moon and providing an assignment to observe and draw the moon's current phase.
PhasesoftheMoon notes.pptx
The phases of the Moon occur as it orbits Earth over the course of approximately 28 days. As the Moon circles the Earth, the portion of its surface that is illuminated by the Sun changes from our perspective based on the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun. There are eight distinct phases that repeat in a cycle: new Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. A common misconception is that the Moon's phases are caused by the Earth's shadow, but lunar eclipses are the actual result of the Moon passing through the Earth's shadow.
Moon Phases Stations Lab
The document describes the phases of the moon and lunar calendar. It explains that the moon revolves around Earth once every 29.5 days, going through phases from new moon to full moon and back again. During a new moon, the dark side faces Earth so we cannot see the illuminated portion. As the moon orbits, we see less than half illuminated as a crescent moon, then exactly half illuminated at the quarter moon phase.
Moon hybrid marshall cscope
The document discusses key facts about the moon, including that it is Earth's natural satellite and was likely formed by either a piece of Earth separating due to centrifugal force or an object colliding with Earth. It goes through the eight phases of the moon over its 29.5 day cycle, caused by the changing angle of sunlight reflecting off its surface as it orbits Earth. Solar and lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and sun or Earth passes between moon and sun, blocking light, but this does not happen with every new or full moon.
Space vocabulary
This document defines key terms related to space and astronomy. It explains that Earth revolves around the sun while rotating on its axis. The moon orbits Earth and follows a path called an orbit. Other terms defined include axis, gravity, satellite, atmosphere, moon phases, crater, solar, lunar, eclipse, star, sunspot, planet, comet, asteroid, model, scale, absorb, reflection, refraction, telescope. It also lists and describes the 8 phases of the moon in order from new moon to new moon.
physical science module 2 Q4.pptx
Ancient astronomers were able to observe several astronomical phenomena before the advent of telescopes:
1) The rising and setting of the Sun in the east and west, and that the point of rising and setting varied throughout the year.
2) The phases of the Moon, from new to full and back to new over 29.5 days.
3) Lunar eclipses, where the Moon passes into Earth's shadow.
4) Solar eclipses, where the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun.
Stars and solar system
The document summarizes information about the moon and its phases as seen from Earth. It begins with an introduction to celestial objects like stars, planets, and moons. It then discusses specific details about the moon, including that it has no atmosphere and takes about 27 days to orbit Earth. The document also explains that the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positioning of the moon in its orbit around Earth as seen from our perspective. It outlines the eight main phases - new moon, waxing crescent, quarter moon, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, and waning crescent - and includes images and descriptions of each phase.

Scientists discovered water and volatile elements trapped in crystals inside volcanic glass beads returned from the moon by Apollo 17. This challenges assumptions about how the moon formed and the origin of its water. Samples indicate the moon's interior is similar to Earth's in water abundance. Researchers found concentrations of water and elements in lunar magma are nearly identical to concentrations in solidified magma from Earth's mid-ocean ridges. This discovery strengthens the theory that the moon and Earth have a common origin but forces reconsideration of the current theory of lunar formation from a huge impact on early Earth.
Ch. 17 l.s. 2
The document discusses patterns that can be seen in the night sky and provides details about the moon phases and eclipses. It explains that the moon revolves around the Earth and rotates on its axis, causing the shapes and illumination that we see over the course of a month. The phases include the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. Eclipses occur when the moon or Earth pass through each other's shadows. There are lunar and solar eclipses. The document also briefly discusses stars and constellations visible in the night sky.
moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon and how they occur as the moon orbits the Earth. It describes the 8 phases from new moon to full moon and back again over the course of approximately 29.5 days. The phases occur due to the changing position of the moon in relation to the Earth and sun, which determines how much of the lit side is visible from Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon also causes the ocean tides on Earth.
Phases of the moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon and how they occur as the moon orbits the Earth. It describes the 8 phases as: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. As the moon orbits the Earth over approximately 29.5 days, the portion illuminated from our perspective changes in a cycle from new to full and back to new moon again.
Phases of the Moon
The document discusses the phases of the moon over the course of the lunar cycle. It explains that the moon does not produce its own light, but rather reflects sunlight. As the moon orbits the Earth over 28-29 days, the illuminated portion visible from Earth changes in a predictable pattern, going from new moon to crescent moon, first quarter moon, gibbous moon, full moon, last quarter moon, and back to new moon to complete the cycle. Lunar and solar eclipses can occur when the moon passes between the Earth and sun.
SNC1P Space
Here are the moon phases on my birthday:
- New Moon: No moonlight was visible in the night sky. The entire unilluminated half was facing Earth.
- Waxing Crescent: A thin crescent on the right side was illuminated as the Moon moved farther from the New Moon phase.
- First Quarter: Half of the Moon's disk was illuminated and appeared "half-full" in the night sky.
Astronomy - Notes
The document provides an overview of astronomy and the progression of models of the universe. It discusses early geocentric models with Earth at the center, Copernicus' heliocentric model placing the Sun at the center, and Kepler's model showing elliptical orbits. Newton later explained gravitational forces and inertia keeping planets in orbit. The effects of Earth's rotation and revolution are described, including day/night cycles and the seasons.

The document contains summaries of several children's books and songs that could be used for educational activities in a kindergarten classroom. Some of the books discussed include "The Plant Part Song", "Curious George Plants a Seed", and "A Color of His Own". Accompanying each book summary is an outline of a proposed educational activity to engage students, such as having children act out parts of the plant life cycle song, conduct experiments on plant growth, or discuss why chameleons change color. Multiple activities incorporate music, such as learning the "Garden Friends Song" or using the song "Track Detective" to spark a storytelling activity. The document provides ideas for integrating literature with learning objectives in science, language arts
Weather Protection
The document provides information about ways for human beings to protect themselves from adverse weather conditions. It discusses having a disaster supply kit, a disaster family plan, and listening to radio or TV for weather updates. It then prompts the reader to research and describe watches versus warnings, protective actions, photos, stories, and supply kit items for two different weather topics like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. and create a short animation about one of the topics. It concludes with true/false questions about supply kits and family plans.
Weather Protection
Katie traveled to Arizona and Utah with her grandparents and visited several national parks and forests, including Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon features many vibrantly colored rock formations carved by erosion from water freezing and thawing in cracks in the rock. The pink color comes from iron particles in the rock rusting when exposed to air. It took 65 million years for wind and water to sculpt Bryce Canyon into its amazing spires and arches.
Weather Protection
Katie Eckleberry traveled with her family to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. She was amazed by the beautiful rock formations and had questions about how they formed and their composition. The hoodoos at Bryce Canyon are carved from limestone, siltstone, dolomite and mudstone, which erode at different rates. Frost wedging from freezing and thawing caused the rocks to break apart. Water running through the joints carried away the smaller pieces, slowly forming the canyon over 65 million years.
Inquiry Project 3 (Hummingbirds)
While on vacation, the author observed hummingbirds closely interacting with her grandmother who was wearing a red shirt. This prompted the author to research hummingbirds. She discovered that hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers because it helps the flowers avoid insect predators. Their wings beat extremely fast, up to 100 beats per second, which allows them to fly at speeds over 15 meters per second. Due to their high metabolisms, hummingbirds must consume more than their own body weight in nectar daily, visiting hundreds of flowers to meet their energy needs.
Inquiry Project 1 (Bryce Canyon)
The author visited Bryce Canyon in Utah and was amazed by the beautiful rock formations. Bryce Canyon was formed by water erosion over 65 million years, as freezing water expanded in cracks and broke off pieces of limestone, siltstone, dolomite and mudstone. The pink color comes from iron particles rusting when exposed to air.
Deer Hunting Inquiry 4
Male deer grow antlers annually that are shed each year. Antlers are used for establishing dominance and attracting mates. Deer have a lifespan of 11-12 years in the wild but most die younger from predators, cars or hunting. Their diet consists of plants, fruits, mushrooms and they communicate through sounds and scent marking. Female deer reproduce annually during the rut in late October/early November.
Habitats
This document provides background information and instructions for an activity where students design an animal adapted to a specific environment. It defines key terms like adaptation, organism, environment, and habitat. It explains that most animals are only adapted to 1-2 habitats and would struggle if placed elsewhere. The activity has students choose an environment, design an animal with adaptations for that habitat, and consider how it would be affected if the habitat changed. The goal is for students to understand that organisms must be suited to their environment to survive and thrive.

A Waxing And A Waning 6th Grade Indicator
- 1. A-Waxing and A-Waning By: Katie Eckleberry 10/11/09
- 2. Standard 3: The Physical Setting Indicator 6.3.3: Explain that the Earth is one of several planets that orbit the sun, and that the moon, as well as many artificial satellites and debris, orbit around the Earth. (Core Standard) Taken from: http://dc.doe.in.gov/Standards/AcademicStandards/StandardSearch.aspx Link to Activity: http://dc.doe.in.gov/Standards/AcademicStandards/StandardSearch.aspx
- 3. Definitions Waxing: (of the moon) to increase in the extent of its illuminated portion before the full moon. Waning: (of the moon) to decrease periodically in the extent of its illuminated portion after the full moon. Illuminated: to supply or brighten with light; light up. Lunar Cycle: a means of establishing a calendar that is based on the cycles of the Moon. Taken from: http://dictionary.reference.com/
- 4. Background Information: As the moon circles the Earth, the shape of the moon appears to change; this is because different amounts of the illuminated part of the moon are facing us. The shape varies from a full moon (when the Earth is between the sun and the moon) to a new moon (when the moon is between the sun and the Earth). The purpose of this activity is to model the phases of the moon caused by the moon’s orbit around the Earth.
- 5. Materials: Lamp with light bulb (with shade) Polystyrene ball with diameter of 6cm or greater Pencil Paper Copy Moon Phases Sheet (All of these items are provided in the Waxing/Waning kit provided by your USI instructor)
- 6. Think About the Following Before Starting: When you look at the night sky, does the moon look the same every night? Why? When the moon changes, you are seeing the moon’s phases, which are the different shapes the moon appears to have as it is viewed from Earth.
- 7. Activity/ Procedure: Take the ball from the kit and place it on the point of the pencil. Place the lamp in an area where you can walk around it. Turn the lamp on and the lights off in the classroom. The light bulb will act as the sun, the ball will be the moon, and you will act as planet Earth. Place the ball arms length between you and the bulb.
- 8. Procedure Continued: Hold the “moon” so that you can see it and the sun. The sunlight is falling on the far side of the moon, which is not visible to you, this creates the dark “new moon” phase. Now move your hands counterclockwise (left) about 45 degrees and observe the sunlight on your moon as you move. Notice that the right hand edge is illuminated as a crescent. The crescent starts out very thin and becomes larger as the moon moves farther away from the sun.
- 9. Procedure Continued (2): Now move your moon until it reaches 90 degrees to your left. The right half of the moon will be illuminated. This is the first quarter. Remember that one-half of the moon is illuminated at all times, but the illuminated portion that we an see changes as the moon changes position. Now face away form the sun and hold your moon so that it is directly opposite the light and the light is able to shine on it. This is the full moon, it takes the moon about two weeks to move from new to full. The growth in illumination is know as waxing.
- 10. Procedure Continued (3): Now switch the pencil to your right hand and face in the general direction of the sun. Start with the moon at full moon phase. Continue moving your moon in a counterclockwise direction. It is a thinning crescent and then goes back to new moon. As it moves from full to new moon position the moon wanes, meaning the visible illumination steadily decreases. Now you have completed the full lunar cycle, this cycle takes the moon about 28 days to complete.
- 11. Closing Activity: Now take out the moon phases sheet from the activity kit. Compare the diagram to the moon phases that you have just created. Now repeat the moon phases using the moon phases sheet as a guide. Now that you have practiced the phases of the moon, you will be able to determine where the moon is at in it’s cycle when you view the moon at night. Share your new moon knowledge with your family!!
- 12. Fun Facts about the Moon: 1. When we see the moon, we are looking at the part of the moon that is reflecting light from the sun. 2. It takes the moon an average of 29.5 days to orbit the Earth. 3. If the moon is SMALLER than a QUARTER, we call it CRESCENT. 4. If the moon is BIGGER than a QUARTER, we call it GIBBOUS. 5. When the moon is GETTING BIGGER, it is WAXING. [ The part of the moon that we see will appear to be the RIGHT side of the moon.] 6. When the moon is GETTING SMALLER, it is WANING. [The part of the moon that we see will appear to be the LEFT side of the moon.] 7. If the CRESCENT of the moon LOOKS LIKE THE LETTER C, the moon is SHRINKING (WANING). 8. If the CRESCENT of the moon CURVES LIKE THE LETTER D, the moon is getting bigger (Waxing). 9. The New Moon can hardly be seen. 10.The Full Moon is as big as the moon can get. http://www.k111.k12.il.us/king/phases_of_the_moon.htm#Fact
