Part I Eight Moon Phases

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Fill in Box #1) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the new moon. Since the dark side is facing us, the moon cannot be seen from Earth. (Write, “No moon can be seen”, in box #1)

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #3) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter This is the first quarter moon. It is called first quarter because the moon is one quarter of the way around Earth in its orbit beginning from new moon.

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #5) Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter This is the full moon. All of the moon facing Earth is lit by the sun.

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #7) Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter This is the last quarter moon. The moon is now three quarters of the way around Earth.

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? Sunlight Earth The moon has now returned to the new moon position.

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth We will now follow the moon around the Earth again, this time adding the final four phases which fall between the phases we have already seen.

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #2) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is a crescent moon. Since the moon appears to be growing larger from the new moon phase, this is called a waxing crescent.

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter When in this position, the moon is in the first quarter phase....

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #4) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth The moon is in the gibbous phase. Since the moon continues to grow larger, this is the waxing gibbous phase.

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter The moon moves until it reaches the full moon position. It continues moving....

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #6) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is another gibbous moon. But because the moon now appears to be growing smaller, it is called the waning gibbous.

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is the first quarter The moon moves on to the last quarter position….

View From Earth View From Above Earth What phase of the moon is this? (Make your drawing in box #8) Sunlight Earth

View From Earth View From Above Earth Sunlight Earth This is another crescent moon. Because the moon still seems to be getting smaller, this is a waning crescent
