This phase of the moon happens when the moon is between the earth and the sun.

In our class model, the sun was represented by this.
What is a spotlight?
Contrary to popular belief, the moons physical _______ does not change.

What are corners?
This phase of the moon happens when the moon is on the direct opposite side of earth than the sun.

What is every night?
These phases of the moon occur shortly before and after the new moon phase and are noted by the minority of the moon being visible.
What are crescent moons?
In our model we changed the moons ________ to change the phase that was seen by the class.
what is location?

Phases will only occur on shapes that are round because light can't wrap around these.

What is quarter moon?
would also accept half moon.
In our experiment we successfully showed the phases of the moon using two different strategies. The first model was wrong because it showed the sun doing this.
What is moving?
The moons phase is not affected by the Earth's this on its axis.
What is Earth's rotation?
the reason the moon seems to change shape is our ________
