Do:
 - Draw the appropriate amount of light, and in the correct location depending on its location

In the top-view, as the moon orbits the Earth, how much of the moon is lit and how much is dark?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies how light impacts the moon’s appearance
  • Accurately describes the relationship between the moons position and the appearance from Earth

Exit Ticket:

Based on the view from Earth panel, what changes as the moon orbits the Earth?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies how light impacts the moon’s appearance
  • Accurately describes the relationship between the moons position and the appearance from Earth
"Based on the view from earth i notice that the moon can appear (the same/different). This happens because ... "

Use your answer above and your observations of the SIM. From a View-From Earth explain what causes the moon’s appearance to change?
CFS:
  • Accurately identifies how light impacts the moon’s appearance
  • Accurately describes the relationship between the moons position and the appearance from Earth
"Based on the simulation i notice that the moon can appear partially illuminate. This happens because ... "
(think: why is the moon light on side side and dark on the other?)
