  1. Lunar Cycle

  2. TAKS Objective 5 The student will demonstrate an understanding of Earth and Space systems.

  3. TEKS 8.12 (A) analyze and predict the sequence of events in the lunar and rock cycles.

  4. True or False The phases of the Moon happen when the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon’s surface.

  5. False The side of the Moon that is facing the Sun is always lit except during a lunar eclipse.

  6. True or False The Moon only shines at night.

  7. False Except close to New Moon, when the Sun is too bright for the Moon to be seen, and Full Moon, the Moon can be seen during certain times of every day.

  8. Objectives 1. The student will be able to analyze and predict the phases of the Moon. 2. The student will be able to determine which part of the Moon can be seen from Earth during each phase. 3. The student will be able to predict the rising and setting of various phases of the Moon.

  9. Lunar Cycle The moon cycles every 29.5 days The appearance of the moon is based on the alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon

  10. Phases of the Moon Crescent Moon

  11. Phases of the Moon First Quarter

  12. Phases of the Moon Full Moon

  13. Phases of the Moon Third/Last Quarter

  14. Phases of the Moon New Moon

  15. Waxing and Waning The terms waxing and waning are used to indicate whether or not the phase of the Moon is getting larger – going from new Moon to full Moon or getting smaller – going from full Moon to new Moon.

  16. Day 1 Day 28 Day 2 Day 27 Sun Day 23 Day 6 Earth A waxing Moon (getting larger) is moving away from the Sun’s position each day and a waning Moon (getting smaller) is moving toward the Sun’s position each day.

  17. What do you think the word, gibbous means?

  18. ENGAGE Wax on and wane off song and dance Show “The Terminator and Luna Tick newscast”

  19. Explore Analyzing a Moon Phase Calendar

  20. Explain • What pattern do you see in the first week of moon phases? 2. What pattern do you see in the second week of moon phases? 3. What pattern do you see in the third week of moon phases? 4. What pattern do you see in the fourth week of moon phases? 5. What is the difference between the second week and third week?

  21. Explain Continued 6. What pattern do you see concerning the lit side of the moon between the first and fourth week? 7. Does this same pattern hold true in the second and third week? 8. From your study of the patterns found in the phases of the moon predict what phase will be found on the 28th day of the month. Shade in the moon on your calendar.

  22. Elaborate Using a Moon Clock to Tell Time.

  23. Evaluate Observe the following pattern Predict which of the pictures would be next in the lunar cycle? A B C D
