1. Page# 130 January 30 Focus: Pre-Assessment to Space, The Moon Obj.: 6.E.1.1, I will be able to assess my prior knowledge and explain the phases of the moon. Homework: read and answer questions, study Warm-Up: Choose one poster hanging up on the walls. Write down the message and describe it. Then explain the message. * Get your test binder

4. A look at our nearest neighbor in Space! The Moon Free powerpoints at http://www.worldofteaching.comhttp://www.worldofteaching.com http://viewpure.com/Hkvlr WpsnuQ http://viewpure.com/79M2 lSVZiY4

5. What is the Moon? A natural satellite (something that orbits a planet) One of more than 96 moons in our Solar System –For example, Jupiter has 63 moons! Planet Earth only has one moon, so we call it THE Moon.

6. The Moon’s Surface No atmosphere No liquid water Extreme temperatures –Daytime = 130  C (265°F) –Nighttime = -190  C (-310  F) 1/6 Earth’s gravity

8. The moon revolves around the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun.

9. How Can We See the Moon? Sunlight shines on the moon! –Just like Earth, the moon has a “day” and “night” –The sun shines on only half of the moon at one time.

11. It’s Just a Phase Moonlight is reflected sunlight Half the moon’s surface is always reflecting light From Earth we see different amounts of the Moon’s lit surface The amount seen is called a “phase”

12. It takes 29 days (about 1 month) to complete the phases of the moon one time.

14. Waxing and Waning As the moon revolves around the sun, we see different amounts of the “lit up side” When we see MORE of the lit side, it’s WAXING When we see LESS of the lit side, it’s WANING

15. Right Light, Waxing WAXING: When we start to see MORE of the lit side of the moon The moon starts to look “bigger”

16. Left Lit, Waning WANING: When we start to see LESS of the lit side of the moon When the moon starts to look “smaller”

17. Moon Phases When the bright part is getting bigger, the Moon is waxing. When it is getting smaller, the Moon is waning. When the Moon is more than half-lit, it is called a gibbous Moon. When the moon is less than half-lit, it is called a crescent Moon.

18. Why does the moon have phases? The revolution of the Moon around the Earth causes the Moon to appear to have phases. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

19. 8 Phases of the Moon New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Moon Waning Gibbous Third Quarter Waning Crescent New Moon

20. The moon is not visible from Earth. The moon is between the Sun and the Earth. The dark side is facing us. This phase lasts one night.

21. Waxing Crescent Waxing means that the bright side is increasing. The right side is the bright side. Less than one half of the moon is illuminated. This phase includes any visible moon from a small sliver to almost half.

22. First Quarter The entire right side of the moon is illuminated. The moon looks like a half circle. The illuminated side is increasing. This phase only lasts one night.

23. Waxing Gibbous Gibbous means that more than one half is visible, but it is not quite full. This phase includes the night after the first quarter to the night before the full moon.

24. Full Moon The moon is full and bright. It looks like a large circle. The illuminated side is facing us. Only happens once every 29 nights.

25. Waning Gibbous The moon appears more than half but not quite full. Waning means that the illuminated side is decreasing. The left side is the bright side. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

26. Last Quarter or Third Quarter Left Half of the moon is illuminated. The illuminated side is decreasing. This phase also only lasts for one night.

27. Waning Crescent Less than one half of the moon is illuminated. The moon will continue to become smaller and smaller.

28. New Moon The moon is not visible from Earth. The moon is between the Sun and the Earth. The dark side is facing us. This phase lasts one night.

29. What would happen next??

30. Waxing Crescent Waxing means that the bright side is increasing. The right side is the bright side.

59. Far Side of the Moon First seen by Luna 3 Russian space probe in 1959 Surface features different from near side –More craters –Very few maria –Thicker crust
