The Moon

We have become moon experts!  for the last several weeks, we have learned so much about the moon and our research has led us to some amazing knowledge!  We’ve discussed how the moon was created and why it looks the way it does.  We learned about the moon’s phases and why they appear as they do in the sky.  Did you know that the moon is a satellite and it does not produce it’s own light? We have gained such a better understanding of the moon and its effects on Earth!  We are truly moon experts!

Neil Armstrong made a confession over the Moon landing

Learning about the first astronaut to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, was very exciting! “One small step for man. one giant leap for mankind”.
The Earth and moon’s rotation and revolution was quite complicated, but we figured it out!

Although, practicing revolution and rotation made us a bit dizzy!

Can you think of a better way to learn about the moon’s phases?

We created amazing moon phase diagrams.
After learning and doing experiments about the moon’s surface, we created our own with water, paint and glue.
