Moon Phase Calendar

We are beginning a study of the moon and sky.  One of the objectives is to recognize patterns of observable changes in the Moon’s appearance from day to day.   Since we rarely see the moon during the day, students will need to observe and record the daily appearance of the moon each night on the moon chart that has been placed in the homework folder.  Please shade in the dark part of the moon using pencil. The chart should be kept in the homework folder and return to school completed each day.  It must also be done on the weekend and throughout Spring Break.  If there is a cloudy night, you may document that and refer to the online Current Moon Phase site.
