Instructional Ideas

  • Include this activity in an elementary or middle school science unit on the solar system
  • Have students take the flip books home, using them with their families to make observations about the moon
  • Before creating the flip books, pass out one of the lunar images to each student and have them work collaboratively to arrange themselves in the correct order

Classroom Considerations

  • Add numbers to the pages to support children with correctly assembling the flip book

Pros

  • Flip books includes 23 images that clearly depict all of the phases of the moon
  • Provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the flip books

Cons

  • None
