3. 1. At the end of this lesson, YOU
will be able to:
1. identify the phases of the moon;
2. value the importance of the moon; and
3. create different moon phases observed
by humans on Earth through
demonstration.
Intended Learning
Outcomes

4. 1. Orbit - The path of the Moon
around the Earth.
2. Rotate - The Earth spins around, like a
top, about its axis once each day.
3. Waning – appears to shrink
4. Waxing – appears to be growing
5. Gibbous - Swollen on one side
6. Crescent – less than ½ the moon is visible.
7. Revolve- the motion of one object around
another ( the moon revolves around Earth)
Key Vocabulary

5. Essential Questions
1. Is the moon a light
source?
2. How do the movements of
the Sun, Earth and moon
affect the patterns observed
by humans on Earth?

6. The Moon does not
give off its own
light but reflects
light from the sun.
Half of the moon
that faces the
earth is not always
the half that is
being lit by the
sun.
Everyone is a
moon, and has a
dark side which
he never shows to
anyone .
Mark Twain

7. What Causes the different
phases of the moon?
1.The Moon Revolving
around the Earth
2. The Moon
reflecting sunlight
towards the Earth.
The moon is a
friend for the
lonesome to talk
to.
-Carl Sanberg

8. As the Moon circles
the Earth, the
amount of the lit
side we see changes.
These changes are
known as the phases
of the Moon and it
repeats in a certain
way over and over.
Astronomy compels
the soul to look
upwards and leads us
from this world to
another.
- Plato

10. The revolution of the
Moon around the Earth
causes the Moon to
appear to have phases.
It takes 29.5 days for
the moon to make a
complete circuit around
the Earth.
Keep your
eyes
on the stars,
and your feet on
the ground.
- Theodore
Roosevelt

12. The Moon’s Orbit

13. New Moon
The Moon's dark
side is facing the
Earth. The Moon is
not visible. The
lighted side of the
Moon faces away from
the Earth. The
Moon that we see
looks very dark.
Did you know
that the Moon
is our natural
satellite.

14. New Moon
The first
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

15. Waxing Crescent
•Waxing means that the
bright side is
increasing. The right
side is the bright side.
•Less than one half of
the moon is illuminated.
•This phase includes any
visible moon from a
small sliver to almost
half.
Did you know
that the name of
our moon is Luna.

16. Waxing Crescent
The second
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

17. First Quarter
•The entire right side of
the moon is illuminated.
•The moon looks like a
half circle.
•The illuminated side is
increasing.
•This phase only lasts
one night.
•The right side is the
bright side.
Agila-1 0r Mabuhay
was the first
microsatellite
acquired by the
Philippines.

18. First Quarter
The third
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

19. Waxing Gibbous
•Gibbous means that
more than one half is
visible, but it is not quite
full.
•This phase includes the
night after the first
quarter to the night
before the full moon.
Did you know that
the moon has its
own time zone

20. Waxing Gibbous
The fourth
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

21. Full Moon
•The moon is full and
bright. It looks like a
large circle.
•The illuminated side
is facing us.
•Only happens one
night per lunar phase
cycle.
Philippines already
launched 3 micro
satellites in outer
space. Namely Agila,
Diwata 1 and Diwata
2

22. Full Moon
The fifth
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

23. Waning Gibbous
•The moon appears
more than half but
not quite full.
•Waning means that
the illuminated side
is decreasing.
•The left side is the
bright side.
Moon Buggy is
the first car
landed in Moon.

24. Waning Gibbous
The sixth
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

25. Last Quarter
•Left Half of the
moon is illuminated.
•The illuminated side
is decreasing.
•This phase also only
lasts for one night.
Did you know
that Moon Buggy
was invented by
a Filipino

26. Last Quarter
The seventh
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

27. Waning Crescent
•Less than one half
of the moon is
illuminated.
•The moon will
continue to
become smaller
and smaller.
Neil Armstrong
was the first Man
landed in Moon

28. Waning Crescent
The eighth
phase in the
moon’s cycle.

30. "The most common incorrect reason given for
the cause of the Moon's phases is that we are
seeing the shadow of the Earth on the Moon!
But this cannot be correct: when the Moon
passes through the shadow of the Earth, we
get a lunar eclipse. Anyone who has seen a
lunar eclipse, though, might remember that the
Moon actually passes through the Earth's
shadow only rarely, so that can't be why the
Moon has phases. The real reason for the
Moon's phases depends on two things: the
Moon is round, and the angle it makes with the
Earth and Sun changes over its orbit."
- As Quoted From Bad Astronomy

32. GROUP ACTIVITY

create an accurate visual
model of the 8 phases of
the moon using the

The sun
The earth
The 8 phases of the moon
