Week 3 The Moon

What did you do in the lab today?​

- Talked about the phases of the moon

- How the rotation of the sun affects the Earth 

- How the Summer and Solar solstice work 

- The Earth rotates counterclockwise, the Sun rises in the East and Sun sets in the West

- The revolution and the rotation are 28 days  - we have never seen the dark side of the Moon from Earth

- There are 10 phases of my moon

-   Takes it from New Moon to a Quarter is 7 days 

For the hands-on experiment, we learned that thickness is the key to the experiment

What was the big question?​

How does the Moon affect Earth? What's so special about the Moon?

What did you learn in Thursday’s discussion?



Read the online textbook

What did you learn?​




What was most helpful?​

Getting to see the visual example of the tidal locking works as the Moon orbits Earth was really cool, and helpful.

What do you need more information on?​

I am still kind of confused on how the phases of the moon happen.

5. What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have? 

Will we keep going over the phases of the moon?
