Lunar Cycle Goal: Identify the phases of the Moon, and relate the phases to eclipses. 1
Lunar Cycle Activity 1 You will receive 8 squares of paper You will be drawing a lunar cycle For this assignment the Sun is on the RIGHT. On one side of your square draw a picture of the moon phase On the other side you need to write the name of the moon phase. Start with the New Moon Phase When you are done arrange the lunar cycle in a circle in the correct order in front of you.
Lunar Cycle Activity 2 You will use the lunar cycle squares that you just created to complete the next activity. Answer each of the next questions by holding up the phase of the lunar cycle that answers the question
Review What phase is this? Be prepared to Justify your answer. First Quarter Call on students to use their Lunar Vocabulary handouts to answer questions. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mosaique_des_phases_de_la_lune.jpg Review What phase is this? Be prepared to Justify your answer. 4
