4. This causes us to have day and night
Earth’s rotation
Earth’s revolution
Tilt of Earth’s axis
Eclipses

5. The amount of time it takes for the moon to revolve around the Earth
A day
A month
A year
12 hours
Back to you Alex

6. The reason that we have seasons on Earth
Earth rotates on its axis
Earth moves closer to the sun as it revolves
Earth’s axis is tilted as it rotates around the sun
Earth’s axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun

8. The direction the sun is shining from in the phase shown here

Back to you Alex

9. The phase of the moon we see depends on this
Where you are on Earth
How much of the moon’s surface is lit by the sun
How much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth
Whether or not an eclipse is occuring
Back to you Alex

10. The amount of the lit side of the moon you see is the same during these 2 phases
New moon & full moon
Waxing crescent & waxing gibbous
First quarter & third quarter
Waxing crescent & waning gibbous

13. Things that aren’t entirely correct in a model are called this
Perfect
Flaws
Helpful
Limitations
Back to you Alex

14. The reason we use models in science
They have limitations
They are exact
They show us how things work that we can’t normally observe
They show us how things work that we can normally observe
Back to you Alex

15. This is not a limitation of the “Moon Pop” Lab
The “Moon” did not rotate
Sizes and distances were inaccurate
The “Earth” moved the “Moon”
The moon phases you saw were not accurate
Back to you Alex

16. The greatest limitation of the seasons model seen here:
All 4 seasons are shown at once
Size and distances are inaccurate
The tilt of Earth’s axis is not shown
The direction of the orbit is not shown
