Evidence (Provide examples from using your model to support your claim.) Reasoning (Explain how your evidence supports your claim. Describe the position of the moon, earth, and sun.) Moon, Earth, and Sun Model CER Claim (Write a sentence stating what causes moon phases after working with your model.) Evidence (Provide examples from using your model to support your claim.) Reasoning (Explain how your evidence supports your claim. Describe the position of the moon, earth, and sun.) ANSWER KEY Moon, Earth, and Sun Model CER Claim (Write a sentence stating what causes moon phases after working with your model.) - Moon phases are caused by the moon’s position around the earth, and the earth’s position around the sun. Evidence (Provide examples from using your model to support your claim.) - From using my model, I know the moon only revolves around the earth, and the earth only revolves around the sun. When the moon is directly in front of the earth, light from the sun is hitting directly on the backside of the moon. The moon is not visible resulting in a new moon. Reasoning (Explain how your evidence supports your claim. Describe the position of the moon, earth, and sun.) - Because of the moon’s position around the earth, depends on how much light hits what part of the moon causing phases of the moon.

ANSWER KEY Assessment Questions 1. What causes the phases of the moon? - The position of the moon, Earth, and sun cause the phases of the moon. 2. Define constellations. a. The obscuration of the light of the moon by the intervention of the earth between it and the sun. b. A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern. c. The full side of the moon is showing light. 3. How many phases of the moon are there? - 8 4. When does an eclipse occur? Why? - Eclipses occur when the Moon and Sun are on the exact plain or are on exact opposite sides 5. If you were visiting a friend in Europe, would you see the same phase of the moon as if you were in East Tennessee? Why or Why not? - No, because the position of he Moon, Earth, and Sun are different in East Tennessee than Europe. 6. If you were seeing a Full Moon tonight, what would be the next phase? a. Waxing Gibbous b. Last Quarter c. Waning Gibbous ANSWER KEY Assessment Questions 1. What causes the phases of the moon? -The position of the moon, Earth, and sun cause the phases of the moon. 2.

We completed the moon table, moon, earth, and sun model, and constellation activity to gather evidence. We watched the moon for 28 days to see how the moon changed through the days. Some nights the moon was not visible at the viewing times. Through this activity, we learned the 8 phases of the moon. With the Moon, Earth, and Sun model, we could see the relationship between the Moon, Earth, and Sun, and the resulting moon phase or eclipse. We could move the moon around the Earth, and the Earth around the sun to see the cause and effect between them. In the constellation activity, we saw spring constellations, and what causes the constellations. This helped us see why knowing these constellation patterns could benefit us when viewing the night’s sky. Each activity was helpful in finding evidence, and exploring reasoning to support the claims made.
