ACT
The students work in teams of two to discover the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon that produce the different phases of the Moon. The students will be given a Styrofoam ball that they will attach to a pencil so that it looks like a lollipop. This ball will be the Moon, the students will be the Earth and a hanging light bulb will be the Sun. The students will move the "Moon" around them to discover the different phases. They will fill in the position of the Moon and its corresponding phase on the attached worksheet.
