1. LEQ: How can I apply what I learned about the phases of the Moon? REVIEW Key Terms: phases, waxing, waning

2. It Doesn’t Phase Me! ► In this activity, you will viewing illustrations of the Phases of the Moon. You will then try your best to identify the:  The Full and the New Moon Phases.  The Waxing and Waning Phases of the Moon.  The Crescent, Quarter, and Gibbous Phases of the Moon.  Some of the specific Phases of the Moon.  The correct order of sequence of the Phases of the Moon.

3. Preparation (do this before going onto slide 4) ► To prepare, review “Exploring Phases of the Moon” on page 26 of the Astronomy textbook.

4. ► 1. Which of the above is the New Moon (0% of the Moon’s disk illuminated) phase? ► 2. Which of the above is the Full Moon (100% of the Moon’s disk illuminated) phase? 12 Identifying Phases of the Moon: New Moon and Full Moon

8. ► 6. Which 2 are the quarter (50% of the Moon’s disk illuminated) phases? ► 1 and 3 123 4 56 Identifying Phases of the Moon: Crescent(s), Quarter(s), and Gibbous(s)

9. ► 7. Which 2 are the gibbous (75% of the Moon’s disk illuminated) phases? ► 5 and 6 123 4 56 Identifying Phases of the Moon: Crescent(s), Quarter(s), and Gibbous(s)

10. Identifying Specific Phases of the Moon ► 8. Which is the Waning Gibbous phase? 1234 5678

13. Identifying Specific Phases of the Moon ► 11. Which is the Waning Crescent phase? 1234 5678

14. Identifying Phases of the Moon The Specific Phase ► 12. What phase is illustrated above? ► Full Moon

15. Identifying Phases of the Moon The Specific Phase ► 13. What phase is illustrated above? ► Third or Last Quarter

16. Identifying Phases of the Moon The Specific Phase ► 14. What phase is illustrated above? ► Waxing Crescent

17. ► 15. Beginning with the New Moon phase, place the phases in their correct order. First QuarterNew MoonWaning CrescentThird Quarter Waxing CrescentFull MoonWaxing GibbousWaning Gibbous Identifying Phases of the Moon: The Sequence

18. Moon Phases Activity ► Pick up a copy of the Labeling the Phases of the Moon Diagrams Activity sheet. ► Use this slide show and your textbook as references.  Complete both sides of the activity sheet.  Spelling counts.

19. Conclusion ► How well were you able to identify the phases? ► Make sure to turn in your Labeling the Phases of the Moon Activity sheet when complete.
