Observing, Describing, and Illustrating a Repeating Pattern The Changing Moon Observing, Describing, and Illustrating a Repeating Pattern

The Moon The Moon is essentially round, but it is a lot smaller than the Earth.

The Moon The Moon travels around the Earth. It goes around about once every 28 days. We only see the part of the Moon that is lit by the Sun. So, sometimes we see the whole Moon and sometimes we only see part of the Moon.

The phases are a repeated pattern. There are 4 basic moon phases, or shapes, that we see during the month: New First Quarter Full Third Quarter The phases are a repeated pattern.

The Moon The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon appear as if it is changing shape in the sky.

The Moon From Earth, we see the Moon grow from a thin crescent to a full circle (or full moon) and then shrink back to a thin crescent again before vanishing for a few days. The Moon doesn’t really “vanish”- it just looks as though it is not there.

The Moon The phases, or shapes, follow a specific sequence as the Moon orbits, or travels around, the Earth one time.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon We can look into the night sky and see the Moon. We do not need a telescope or any other science tool to see the Moon.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon We can sometimes see the Moon during the day.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon The lit part of the Moon always points the way to the Sun. Sun Moon

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon What do you see? How would you describe what you observe in this picture? Talk with your partner, and then we’ll share. This is the new moon. When the sky has a new Moon it is very dark outside.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon What do you see? How would you describe what you observe in this picture? Talk with your partner, and then we’ll share. This is the first quarter Moon. Half the Moon is reflecting light from the Sun.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon What do you see? How would you describe what you observe in this picture? Talk with your partner, and then we’ll share. This is the full Moon. The night sky is bright when there is a full Moon.

Observing, Describing, and Illustrating the Moon What do you see? How would you describe what you observe in this picture? Talk with your partner, and then we’ll share. This is a (waning) crescent Moon. It is shaped a little like a banana in the sky. There are two crescent Moons in the repeating pattern each month.

Illustrating the Moon Now, we will practice drawing the different shapes, or moon phases, that we see in the sky.
