Agenda:
Bell work
BP Eclipses
BP Tides
Moon/Eclipse Simulation
Casting Shadows Worksheet
Daily Objective:
Today we will learn about the phases of the moon & what causes eclipses
Daily Question:
Which phase happens after a full moon?

2. 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

3. Lunar Eclipse
Solar Eclipse

4. Waxing = light on right (growing)
Waning = light on left (shrinking)
Crescent = less than half
Gibbous = more than half

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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