5. Introduction to the moon phases…
At the top of NB 143, write…
The half of the moon facing the sun is always lit!
The moon does not make its own light. It reflects the sun’s light.

6. NB 144 – together using doc camera
Make sure the moon is always aligned correctly with the sun!
Draw what you see from Earth. USE PENCIL!

7. Label the phases. Add the terms waxing and waning.

8. Label the phases. Add the terms waxing and waning.
What patterns do you notice as the moon changes from a new moon phase to a full moon phase? From full to new?

9. How long does it take to go from phase to phase?
NB 143…
Reason for Moon Phases
Half of the moon is always lit, and as the moon revolves we see different parts of the lit portion.
How long does it take to go from phase to phase?
Since it takes about a month to go through all 8 phases, it takes 3 to 4 days to go from one phase to the next.

10. Pg 145: WAXING moons are getting BIGGER. We see the RIGHT side is lit.
BIG IDEA! NB 145, 146
Pg 145: WAXING moons are getting BIGGER. We see the RIGHT side is lit.
Pg 146: WANING moons are getting SMALLER. We see the LEFT side is lit.

41. Hint: Find the new moon phase first, then move counterclockwise!
Moon Phase Drawing
Let’s draw the moon phases when the sun is drawn on the left versus on the right. Label all the phases with their complete names!
Word bank: New moon, Full moon, Waning Crescent, Waxing crescent, Waning gibbous, Waxing gibbous
Hint: Find the new moon phase first, then move counterclockwise!

42. Making Meaning NB
Work with your group to answer the questions as best you can. You do NOT have to do them in order. We will discuss them together!

43. Making Meaning Answer Key.
1. Half of the moon is always lit. As it revolves, we see different parts of the lit portion.

44. Making Meaning Answer Key.
2. It takes one month (27.32 days) to go through all the phases. It takes 3 to 4 days per phase.

45. Making Meaning Answer Key.
3. The moon can be visible in the day or night – it just depends on where it is in its orbit around the earth!

46. Making Meaning Answer Key.
4. Everyone sees basically the same phase. It doesn’t move quickly enough for areas to see different phases.

47. Making Meaning Answer Key.
5. The side of the moon that is in the moon’s shadow changes every night.

48. Making Meaning Answer Key.
6. When the lit portion of a moon is getting bigger, its waxing. When the lit portion of the moon is getting smaller, its waning.
