Moon Observations



We've been studying the moon. The moon has phases. We learned that the moon looks smaller sometimes and sometimes gets bigger. Occasionally, we go outside to observe the moon and we draw how it looks and record data about it. Other times, we look at an image of the moon on the large screen in our classroom and we record observations in our science notebooks by adding a picture and information to a calendar.

Our observations have shown us that the moon goes through phases and can be waxing or waning. The moon looks different at different times of the month. It has been really fun learning about the moon!
