Lesson Plan in Science and Health IV

The lesson plan describes the phases of the moon. It has the objectives of describing how the moon appears to change shapes from night to night, observing these apparent changes, and using a model of the Earth, moon, and sun to show how their relative positions cause the moon's phases. The lesson introduces the concepts of the moon's revolution around Earth causing its phases, and defines the phases as new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. It includes procedures for reviewing lunar movements, discussing what causes the moon's light and phases through a model, and having students differentiate waxing and waning and apply their understanding.
