2. Note Taking  Skill you will use for the rest of your life  Listen, look, think!  What is the main idea of this slide?  What should I copy/write down or draw to remind myself what the main idea was of this slide?  What can I leave out?

3. A small, rocky satellite  An object that orbits a planet

4. Motion  The moon revolves around the Earth in about 1 month

5. Moon Calendar: What phase we are on during the month.

6. Relative Size  ¼ the diameter of Earth  Diameter of the moon = 2,159 miles

7. 1/8 the mass of the Earth  Mass: has weight and takes up space

8. Surface: NOT SMOOTH  rocky hills and valleys  Craters: what is left after a meteorite hits the surface  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTBIr65cL_E&feat ure=related&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode =1&safe=active http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTBIr65cL_E&feat ure=related&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode =1&safe=active The moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth 

9. Position  Phases are caused by its position relative to Earth and Sun

11. Far Side of the Moon  From Earth, you can only see one side of the Moon. A long time ago the Earth's gravity slowed the Moon's spin. The Moon now rotates once as it orbits the Earth, so that the same side (the same half of a sphere) always faces the Earth. So we on Earth see the near side, and the far side always faces away from us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZIB_l eg75Q

12. Waxing  To gradually increase in size (to grow)

13. Waning  To gradually decrease in size

14. Phases of the Song Rap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQRNzepe4wI&safety_mode=true &persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active Who wants to volunteer to use the pointer as we all rap the song together?

15. New Moon  No Moon?  The lighted side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. This means that the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost in a straight line with the Moon in between the Sun and the Earth. The Moon that we see looks very dark. SUN

16. Waxing Crescent SUN  This moon can be seen after the New Moon, but before the First Quarter. The crescent will grow larger and larger every day until the Moon looks like the first Quarter Moon.  Remember: waxing means  increasing or growing larger!

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

18. Waxing Gibbous SUN  After the First Quarter but before the Full Moon.  The amount of the moon that we can see will grow larger and larger every day.

19. Full Moon SUN  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.

20. Waning Gibbous SUN  After the Full Moon but before the Last Quarter.  The amount of the moon that we can see will grow smaller and smaller each day.  Waning means decreasing or growing SMALLER.

21. Last Quarter SUN  Also called Third Quarter Moon.  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.

22. Waning Crescent SUN  Can be seen after the Last Quarter Moon and before the New Moon.  The crescent will grow smaller and smaller every day, until the moon looks like the New Moon.

23. Then the cycle starts over again!  New Moon  Waxing Crescent  First Quarter  Waxing Gibbous  Full Moon  Waning Gibbous  Last Quarter  Waxing Crescent

24. Always start with the SUN SIDE! Then go counter-clock wise…SUN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

25. But what if the sun was on the other side of our model? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

27. NASA  The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006, NASA's mission statement has been to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research."

29. NASA’s Apollo Program  The Apollo Space missions had the goal of putting a human on the moon and landing him safely back here on Earth.

30. Apollo 11  Mission Accomplished  Neil Armstrong  first man to walk on the moon. 1969  “One step for man...
