Why Do We Have Phases of the Moon?

Phases of the Moon. The moon revolves around the Earth and rotates on its axis approximately every 29.5 days.

Moon Notes. Satellites:  Natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies.  The natural ones are commonly called “moons”.

 The word "month" comes from “Moon.”  Long ago, a month represented the time it took to complete one cycle of the changing Moon phases (~ 29.5 days).

Mr. Stanish’s Class. HALF OF THE MOON IS ALWAYS LIT UP BY THE SUN. AS THE MOON ORBITS THE EARTH, WE SEE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE LIGHTED AREA.

Phases of the Moon The Moon and Sun are in synchronous rotation- that means both rotate at the same rate. So the same side faces the Earth at all times.

Lunar Cycle Goal: Identify the phases of the Moon, and relate the phases to eclipses.

The Changing Moon

How the moon's appearance changes during the lunar cycle?

Engagement One summer Woody and Lynn's mom and dad sent them to summer camp. Every night they went looking for snipes. On the first night they noticed the moon was very large and bright. As each night passed, they noticed that they could see less and less of the moon. Woody said it was because the sun is in a different position each night. Lynn disagreed. She said "You're wrong! It' the position of the moon that changes."

Focus What causes the moon to look different throughout the month?

Prediction or Hypothesis Examples that can be used. If _______ then, _______ because_____________. I think that ________ because ________________.

Kit Inventory lamp moon phases cards styrofoam moon lamp

phase gibbous waxing waning new moon crescent quarter rotate revolve reflection A temporary state of being. More than half but not yet full. In the process of getting larger. In the process of getting smaller. When the back side of the moon is facing the Earth. Less than half but not a new moon. One fourth of something. To spin in place. To spin around another object. Light bouncing off another object. Vocabulary

General Plan Constant : position of the light, where the student stands in the room Independent Variable: the placement of the moon as it revolves around your body(Earth) Dependent Variable: the change in the shadow on the moon

Operational Plan First, turn on the simulated sun (light) Second, stand in the same spot throughout the experiment. Third, hold and revolve your moon model around your body and observe what you see. Next, Final, Operational Plan
