Exploring Moon Phases and Distant Cosmic Distances

This lesson includes a warm-up activity that reinforces the understanding of the solar system's scale through a scale model demonstration, and practical application questions on moon phases. Students will engage in formative assessments to identify various moon phases, learn about their rising and setting times, and explore the positions of different lunar phases in the sky at various times of the day. This hands-on approach enhances students' grasp of lunar cycles and cosmic distances, promoting critical thinking and observational skills.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-up: 2/1/12 • Log onto Edmodo and complete the conclusion questions from yesterday’s solar system scale model demonstration.

  2. Warm-up #3 • 38,400,000,000,000 km away 38,400,000,000,000 km / 10,000 km = 3,840,000,000 mm • 3,840,000,000 mm / 1000 mm (in 1 m) = 3,840,000 m • 3,840,000 m / 1000 m (in 1 km) = 3,840 km
