Phases of the moon



Standards-uen science 6th grade standard 1-Students will understand that the appearance of the moon changes in a predictable cycle as it orbits Earth and as Earth rotates on its axis.

Our view of the moon changes throughout the month. There are different types of moons that can happen throughout the year. Amazing things can happen with the moon, including eclipses. Certain holidays are calculated according to the moon, like Easter! Each phase is related to a certain word or phrase: new moon= new beginnings/fresh start, crescent moon= hopes/wishes, first quarter= challenges/ action, gibbous moon= adjust/ edit, full moon= sealed and stamped, waning gibbous/ disseminating moon= gratitude/sharing, last quarter/waning crescent= release/let go, balsamic/ waxing crescent moon= surrender/rest.
