Description
In this activity, students in Key Stages 1-2 explore the eight phases of the Moon and learn that the Moon’s changing appearance is caused by seeing different amounts of its sunlit half as it orbits the Earth. Students create a rotating Moon phase wheel to investigate the lunar cycle and identify each phase as it appears in the night sky.
