100
A systematic process by which scientists raise questions and seek to answer questions following certain steps
What is the Scientific Method?
100
During this kind of eclipse, the moon moves into Earth’s shadow causing the Moon to dim.
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
100
The force of attraction between 2 objects is
What is gravity?
100
The appearance and shape of the moon that we see is
What is a phase?
100
The length of time it takes for the moon to complete all of its phases
What is 29.5 days?
200
Noticing something using their five senses.
What is making an observation?
200
During this kind of eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the Sun, which blocks the sun’s light.
What is a Solar Eclipse?
200
What are 2 factors that impact the gravitational pull on objects?
What are mass and distance?
200
In the Full Moon phase, we are able to see
What is the most of the moon?
200
Seasons are caused by Earth's
What is revolution?
300
The one variable that the scientist changes
What is the independent variable?
300
During an eclipse, the penumbra is
What is the lighter part of the shadow?
300
The amount of matter in an object is
What is mass?
300
During this phase of the moon, none of the moon is visible.
What is the New Moon?
300
Day and night are caused by Earth's
What is rotation?
400
The resulting variable that can be measured
What is the dependent variable?
400
During both solar and lunar eclipses, there is an area where sunlight is blocked. The portion of the shadow that is darkest is
What is the umbra?
400
The gravitational force impacts the tides. When these 2 objects line up, the gravitational pull on Earth is the greatest
What are the Sun and the Moon?
400
This is the scientific term that means "to see more of the moon."

Variables that remain constant, or the same, are known as
What are the control variables?
500
A time when one object moves in front of another object in space is
What is an eclipse?
500
This force acts with gravity, so that Earth travels in an elliptical orbit
What is inertia?
500
This is the scientific term that means "to see less of the moon."
What is waning?
500
It takes Earth this long to rotate on its axis
What is approximately 24 hours?
