In this activity, students draw the position and shape of the moon in relation to other constant landmarks from the same location at home for 10 consectuive nights. After the tenth night, students answer questions based on their collected and analyzed data.
Students will discuss and create a scratch jr animation about the phases of the moon.
In this lesson, students investigate and record the phases of the moon.
In this lesson, students will make a flip book to illustrate the different phases of the moon by cutting out pre-printed pictures of the different phases and putting them in order.
In this activity students will make a moon clock that will allow them to determine where the moon is in the sky at any time of day or night given its phase.
Students will learn about the phases of the moon. Students will observe a demonstration of the moon's orbit and rotation. Students will make a lunar pattern using an online game.
In this lesson, students will read 'The Moon Book' by Gail Gibbons. Each page, the teacher will stop and talk with the students about what they are learning about the moon. After the students read the book, additional actvities are provided in the lesson including arts and crafts, oreo moons, and much more.

Students will view the different phases of the moon by viewing images in a "moon phases box." Note: This activity requires the students, acting as the Earth, to revolve around a stationary moon. This is of course the opposite of what actually occurs. Some students may be aware that the moon revolves around the Earth, others may not, so you may want to clarify the actual movement.
This downloadable song features the eight phases of the moon sung to a catchy pop beat. The lyrics can be downloaded and printed for the students to sing along.
In this lesson, students will use Oreo cookies to model the phases of the moon.
