This lesson plan from the Illinois Institute of Technology demonstrates the causes of; day and night, seasons, and phases of the moon.With a few items, you help the elementary student discover why these phenomena occur.

This site provides a moving diagram of a Lunar eclipse, showing Earth's umbra and penumbra and the appearance of the Moon as it passes through these shadow regions.

Investigate why the moon does not always appear to be round.

In this astronomy classroom activity, students will investigate how shadows create the phases of the moon. Students will record the phases of the moon.

In this activity, 4th graders will study the moon for a period of one month and learn to identify each major moon phase. They will then describe the moon through poems, haikus, and similes.

Two-part activity teaches about the phases of the moon.

During this lesson young scholars are going to take a look at moon phases and sunrise-sunset times in order to learn about daylight hours. Students discover that we do not always have the same amount of daylight each day. This lesson is...

In this lesson, students are asked to order cards showing different phases of the moon. Includes student handouts.
