Moon • We can observe and record how the moon appears to change its shape during the month. • We can record these changes on a calendar to see the moon phase patterns. • The moon does not create its own light • The moon looks lit up because of the reflection of the Suns light • The moon is a large rock with many craters • The part of the moon facing the sun looks lit up • The part of the moon facing AWAY from the sun is dark

  5. Moon Phase • There are 8 phases of the moon • Moon phase is what the moon looks like at different times of the month • It takes the moon about 28-30 days to go through all its phases, so about a months time • We use a calendar to record these phases
