0 degrees : a _____________ moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 0 degrees
1-90 degrees : a wx crsc moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 1-90 degrees
90-180 degrees: a _____________moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 90-180 degrees
180 degrees: a _____________moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 180 degrees
180-270 degrees: a _____________moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 180-270 degrees
270-359 degrees: a_____________moon occurs when the s-e-m angle is 270-359 degrees
waxing; waning; crescent; gibbous; full and new moon
students will keep a moon chart for a "moonth" (see processes above)
* midnite-6 am --- * 6 am -noon --- * noon-6 pm --- * 6 pm-midnite
* midnite-6 am --- * 6 am -noon --- * noon-6 pm --- * 6 pm-midnite
See you next moonth --- i.e., students use this knowledge for the rest of their lives to predict the shape / time of "rising" / name the phase / sun-earth-moon angles
