  1. Moon Phases

  2. Student Objective • Relate the earths movement and the moons orbit to the observed clinical phases of the moon.

  3. Waxing • Moon is getting bigger

  4. Waning • Moon is getting Smaller

  5. New Moon

  6. Waxing Crescent Moon This Moon can be seen after the New Moon, but before the First Quarter Moon.  The crescent will grow larger and larger every day, until the Moon looks like the First Quarter Moon. http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

  8. First Quarter Moon The right half of the Moon appears lighted and the left side of the Moon appears dark.  During the time between the New Moon and the First Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets larger and larger every day, and will continue to grow until the Full Moon.

  10. Waxing GibbousMoon This Moon can be seen after the First Quarter Moon, but before the Full Moon.  The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow larger and larger every day.  ("Waxing" means increasing, or growing larger.) http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

  12. Full Moon The lighted side of the Moon faces the Earth.  This means that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle.  The Moon that we see is very bright from the sunlight reflecting off it.

  13. Full Moon

  14. Waning Gibbous Moon This Moon can be seen after the Full Moon, but before the Last Quarter Moon.  The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow smaller and smaller every day. http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

  16. Third (Last) Quarter Moon Sometimes called Third Quarter.  The left half of the Moon appears lighted, and the right side of the Moon appears dark.  During the time between the Full Moon and the Last Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets smaller and smaller every day. It will continue to shrink until the New Moon, when the cycle starts all over again.
