What age group would you like us to be?

How challenging of a group would you like us to be?

DEMONSTRATING CONSTRUCTIVISM-DISCOVERING THE PHASES OF THE MOON

Rather than read and answer questions about the phases of the moon, let’s do an activity together…

EARTH AND SPACE- PHASES OF THE MOON

In your group, draw a large circle with a much smaller circle in its center.

Label the inside circle “Earth”. The outside circle is the orbit of the moon.

With pencil, lightly draw a giant + sign though your whole paper.

Now, lightly with pencil, draw a big X through your paper.

It should now look like this:

MOON PHASES CONTINUED

Make 8 post-it notes with half shaded circles. Each time a line crosses the moon orbit circle

(the big one), put down a post it note with the lit side toward the sun

There should now be 8 moons around the Earth.

Label the right side of the paper “The Sun”
