Phases of the Moon Why we see What we see When we see it! There is a METHOD to the MADNESS!

SPI and Objective S2005(6) 9. Identify the moon's phases. Objective: Identify all 8 phases of the moon.

Moon Facts The moon is not stationary! It revolves around the Earth. The moon orbits around our planet. Light from the moon is a reflection of light from the Sun.

Our Month It takes the moon approximately 29 days to orbit the Earth. That’s about one Earth MONTH (a lunar month!)

The Moon’s Phases There are 8 phases of the moon. Each phase lasts for 3-4 days

The basic phases: New moon When it happens: Beginning of the Lunar month. (Day 1-2) What we see: We see the unlit side of the moon.

What it looks like: New Moon Look from Earth

The basic phases: Full Moon When we see it: Middle of the Month (day ) What we see: We see the lit side of the moon

What it looks like: Full moon Look from Earth

Quarter Moon We see half of the moon lit. Quarter moon occurs halfway between New Moon and Full moon We call the quarter moons First Quarter and 3 rd /Last Quarter.

Mini Quiz ____ New Moon ____ Full Moon A.B.

Professor Quizmo A. New Moon B. Full Moon __Which phase occurs in the middle of a month? __Which phase occurs in the beginning of a month? __When we see the unlit portion of the moon. __ When the whole moon is illuminated. Let’s See What U Have Learned

The Phases In Between The phases in between are named by how much light they have and their shape.

The Waxing Phases Waxing means “Growing.” (Light on Right) From Day 1 to Day 15 the moon appears to be growing. Waxing Crescent Waxing Quarter (Half) Waxing Gibbous

New Moon to Full Moon Beginning of Month to the Middle of Month –Day 1-15

Professor Quizmo The word “Waxing” means __________. The next phase after the new moon is called __________ ___________. The phase just before the full moon is called the ___________ ___________.

The Waning Phases Waning means “Shrinking.” From Day 15 to Day 29 the moon appears to be shrinking. Waning Gibbous Waning 3 rd Quarter Waning Crescent

Full Moon to New Moon From Middle of Month to the Beginning of New Month Day 16-Day 29

Mini Quiz ____ Waning Crescent ____ Waning 3rd Quarter (Half) ____ Waning Gibbous A.B.C.
