2 At the end of this Unit, students should be able to: Standard Description Passed SciBer Text Understand and correctly use unit vocabulary. I.1.a I.1.b I.2.a I.2.c Name and identify the eight major phases of the Moon. Explain the Moon s pattern of change over one month. Distinguish the position of the Earth Moon, and Sun at each lunar phase. Compare and contrast rotation and revolution.
3 Phases of the Moon Review Use the textbook (pgs ) to answer questions Why do you sometimes see only part of the near side of the Moon? 2. Why does the Moon sometimes seem to have a crescent shape? 3. Look at the diagram on pg. 61. How are the sunlit portions alike in the image and the diagram of the waning gibbous moon? 4. What shape does the Moon appear to be when it is as a small angle to the Sun? 5. When the Moon is full, where is it in its orbit around the Earth? (Draw a picture) pg. 1
4 6. If you were on the Moon s near side during a New Moon, how much of the side of Earth facing you would be sunlit? 7. Why does the Moon seem to change shape from week to week? a. Clouds block part of the Moon. b. The Moon moves through Earth s shadow. c. The Moon is lit in different ways. d. Different amounts of the Moon are in darkness and light. 8. Which shape of the Moon are you most likely to see during the daytime? (Hint: compare the directions of the Sun and Moon from earth in the diagram on pg. 61.) Use the information on pg. 71 to answer questions At which letter on the diagram might a Full Moon be seen? a. E c. I b. G d. J 10. Which letter on the diagram shows the position of the Moon on May 8 th? a. E c. G b. F d. H 11. Approximately, when was the Moon full? a. May 4 th c. May 18 th b. May 11 th d. May 29 th pg. 2
5 12. How much of the sunlit part of the Moon was visible from Earth on May 8 th? a. None of the sunlit part was visible. b. About ¼ of the sunlit part was visible. c. About ¾ of the sunlit part was visible. d. All of the sunlit part was visible. 13. Phases are different views of the Moon s sunlit half. At any time, sunlight is shining of just of the Moon s surface. Use the diagram to answer the next three questions What is the phase of the Moon at position #1? 15. What is the phase of the Moon at position #3? 16. What is the phase of the Moon at position #2? pg. 3
6 Phases of the Moon WebQuest Worksheet As you observe the Moon over a month, you notice it changes. Sometimes the right side is in sunlight; other times it s the left. Sometimes you see it at night; sometimes you see it during daytime. This WebQuest will help you understand why the Moon changes shape throughout the month. You will need to read the information available on the webpages you visit. All answers can be found one or more of the websites. Your task is to read and find the information. Task One There are eight major phases of the Moon. In the top of each square, write the phase of the Moon. In the circle, draw a picture of what it looks like. pg. 4
7 Task Two Define the following terms: Gibbous - Waxing - Waning - Look at the phases of the Moon chart you completed for Task 1. Identify which phases of the Moon are waxing and which phases of the Moon are waning. Phases of the Moon - Waxing Phases of the Moon - Waning Task Three Draw a picture of the Moon phase on the day you were born. My birthdate - pg. 5
8 Draw a picture of the Moon phase on your birthday in Task Four My birthday -, Complete the table below showing the phase of the Moon each day during September Moon Phases for September 2011 Sun Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat pg. 6
9 Questions 1. Identify the days where the Moon s phase is waxing crescent. 2. Identify the days where the Moon s phase is gibbous. 3. Which day is the Moon full? 4. Which day is the New Moon? pg. 7
10 5. Identify the days where the Moon s phase is a waning crescent. Task Five Explain why the Moon, stars, and Sun appear to change positions in the sky. Task Six The Moon changes appearance throughout the month because of the position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Complete the table below, identifying the phase and drawing a picture of the correct Moon phase. pg. 8
11 Task Seven I have successfully completed the Phaser Quiz. (Teacher s Initial) pg. 9
12 Identifying the Phases of the Moon Which image shows First Quarter? Full? Third Quarter? Which images are crescents? Gibbous? Which images are waxing? through Which images are waning? through pg. 10
13 Identifying the Phases of the Moon Waxing Crescent A little part of the Moon s right side is lit. Full Moon - The Moon's entire disk is lit because the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. Gibbous Waxing About ¾ th of the right side Moon's disk is lit. 1 st Quarter - The right half of the Moon's disk is lit. Waxing Getting larger. New Moon - The Moon's disk facing us is dark because the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth. Last Quarter - The left half of the Moon's disk is lit. Waning Crescent - A little part of the Moon s left side is lit. Gibbous Waning - About ¾ th of the left side Moon's disk is lit. Waning Getting smaller. Are the Moons (1-4) waxing or waning? Are the Moons (5-8) waxing or waning? pg. 11
14 Identify the Phases of the Moon Waxing Crescent when we can see only a sliver of the Moon's disk (right-hand side). Full Moon when the Moon's disk is light because the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon Gibbous Waxing when we can see roughly three-quarters of the Moon's disk (the right side of the Moon is lit). First Quarter can see one-half of the Moon's disk (at First Quarter, you see the right half of the Moon lit [this one-quarter of the entire Moon's surface]). New Moon when the Moon's disk is dark (and invisible to us) because the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth Last/3 rd Quarter can see one-half of the Moon's disk (at Last/3 rd Quarter, you see the left half of the Moon lit [this one-quarter of the entire Moon's surface]). Gibbous Waning when we can see roughly three-quarters of the Moon's disk (the left side of the Moon is lit). Waning Crescent when we can see only a sliver of the Moon's disk (left-hand side). Using the table above, write the phase of the Moon shown in the picture pg. 12
15 Matching Moon Phases Read the description on the left and match it with the Moon phase on the right. Please put the letter of the Moon phase on the far left blank line. Example: 1. b The opposite of dark is a. gold b. light 1. Moon is almost directly between the Sun and Earth. a. Waxing Gibbous Moon (start of cycle) 2. Moon is almost directly between Sun and Earth. b. Full Moon (cycle starts again) 3. A bit of the Sunlit side of the Moon shows, with c. New Moon The Sunlit side being on the right. 4. Two weeks have passed since the New Moon. d. Waxing Crescent Moon 5. The Moon is three quarters of its way around Earth. e. First Quarter Moon 6. The Moon is a quarter of its way around Earth. f. Waning Crescent Moon 7. A bit of the Sunlit side of the Moon shows with the g. Last Quarter Moon lighted side being on the left. 8. The Moon is between Full Moon and Last Quarter. h. Waxing Gibbous Moon 9. The Moon is increasing in light between a First i. Waning Gibbous Moon First Quarter Moon and a Full Moon. 10. The Moon is decreasing in light between a Full Moon j. New Moon And a Last Quarter Moon. pg. 13
16 Drawing Moon Phases Using the description and matching words, complete worksheet by adding the drawing of that phase of the Moon. Description 1. New Moon Moon is almost directly between the Sun and Earth (start of cycle). Drawing. 2. Waxing Crescent Moon A bit of the Sunlit side of the Moon shows on the right side. 3. First Quarter Moon The Moon is a quarter of its way around the Earth. It is in its First Quarter phase. 4. Waxing Gibbous Moon The Moon is increasing in light between a First Quarter Moon and a Full Moon. 5. Full Moon Two weeks have passed since the New Moon. We see the entire face of the Moon shining. 6. Waning Gibbous Moon The Moon is decreasing light between a Full Moon and a Last Quarter Moon. pg. 14

Waxing Crescent 3. 1 st Quarter 4. Gibbous Waxing 5. Full Moon 6. Gibbous Waning 7. Last Quarter 8. Waning Crescent pg. 16
19 Comparing Waxing and Waning Moons What is the difference between a waning Moon and a waxing Moon? Your assignment is to make a backward-book explaining the difference. You will include the following information: Define the term (waxing or waning). Identify which Moon phases are waxing or waning. An example of a forward-backward book is available for you. Instructions for making a forward-backward book. 1. Stack three or more sheets of paper. On the top sheet, trace a large circle. 2. With the papers still stacked, cut out the circles. 3. Staple the paper circles together along the left-hand side to create a book. 4. Label the cover and takes notes on the pages that open to the right. 5. Turn the book upside down and label the back.
