Lunar Phases Part 2: Waxing vs Waning and Shifting Perspectives
Rationale:
In this visual 2-day lesson, students are challenged to determine what the moon would look like both from our perspective on earth, and also out in space, with a constantly shifting sun.
First, students pick apart the words waxing and waning and learn some tricks from the earthly perspective, and practice identifying the moons. Then, they broaden their fields and imagine they are in outer space, watching the moon move and "look" at where the illumination hits now.
With step by st

Lunar Phases Part 1
The lunar phases are typically hard for students to learn, mostly because they are really hard to visualize. Thus, I created a simulation using styrofoam balls stuck on pencils to help students see exactly why the moon "changes shape." This lesson focuses on the integration of diagramming, keen observation, and logic. As students rotate, diagram and discuss, they begin to understand how our perspective determines everything.
In a later lesson, we explore what the moon looks like from "above" o
