Daily Objective:
Today we will learn about the phases of the moon & what causes eclipses
Daily Question:
What phase of the moon occurs directly after full moon?

3. NGC 6872: A Stretched Spiral Galaxy Explanation:
Measuring over 700,000 light years across from top to bottom, NGC 6872, also known as the Condor galaxy, is one of the most elongated barred spiral galaxies known.
The galaxy's protracted shape likely results from its continuing collision with the smaller galaxy IC 4970, visible just above center.
Of particular interest is NGC 6872's spiral arm on the upper left,, which exhibits an unusually high amount of blue star forming regions.
The light we see today left these colliding giants before the days of the dinosaurs, about 300 million years ago. 
NGC 6872 is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of the Peacock

4. “Where no man has gone before!”
*work on casting shadows/moon talk worksheet when done!
“Where no man has gone before!”

5. First body paragraph – Evidence:
Introduction - Goal:
My project goal was __________________________. My first product was ______________. To make this product I ______________________. This product helped me to meet by goal by __________________. My second product was ______________. To make this product I ______________________. This product helped me to meet my goal by ___________________________. (add product 3 &4 if you had a partner!)
First body paragraph – Evidence:
Next, I was successful in meeting my goal because __________________. For example, (put in piece of evidence here)___________. Another example that proved I was successful was, ___________________. Ultimately, I know I was successful in meeting my goal because ________________.
Second body paragraph – STEM:
Finally, The science I learned by doing this project was ________________. For example ___________. The technology I learned by doing this project was ________________. For example ___________. The engineering I learned by doing this project was ________________. For example ___________. The math I learned by doing this project was ________________. For example ___________.
Conclusion- Lesson:
Overall, I think _______ went well on this project and if I could re-do the project I would improve on ______________. In addition, I learned ____________________ from doing this project. (if you had a partner, add what they learned)

7. Computer Model Simulations:
Eclipse Simulation: Fill out the worksheet for lunar & solar Eclipses
2. Complete the casting shadows T/F worksheet
Moon Phase Simulation:
3. Fill out the moon phase calendar

8. Eclipse: An event which one object in space casts a shadow on another object.
Eclipses are named for what is being blocked from view.
Lunar Eclipse: Earth comes directly between the Sun and a Full Moon. Resulting in the moon being darkened by the Earth’s shadow.
Solar Eclipse: When the New Moon comes directly between the Sun and the Earth. Part or all of the Sun is blocked from view by the Moon.
Umbra: Smaller, inner shadow – area of total eclipse
Penumbra: Larger, outer shadow – area of partial eclipse
Waxing = light on right (growing)
Waning = light on left (shrinking)
Crescent = less than half
Gibbous = more than half

9. Lunar Eclipse
Solar Eclipse

10. New Moon Not visible Beginning of cycle Phase one
Sun is behind the Moon

11. Waxing Crescent Waxing means “growing” Waxes during 1st half of cycle
Phase 2
Small Sliver on right visible

12. First Quarter Entire Right Side visible 1/4 of the cycle is complete
Phase 3

13. Waxing Gibbous More than ½ but less than all is visible Still Waxing
Phase 4

14. Full Moon
ENTIRE near side visible
½ way through the cycle
Phase 5

15. Waning Gibbous Waning means “Shrinking”
Less and less of the nearside is visible
Small sliver on right missing
Phase 6

16. Last Quarter Entire left side of moon visible Completed ¾ of the cycle
Phase 7

17. Waning Crescent Less than ½ is still visible Still Waning
Last phase before returning to New Moon.
Cycle will repeat
