Part 2: Using the Sim to Investigate Light on the Moon

Goal: Look for evidence in the Simulation to answer the Investigation Question: Where does the Moon get its light?

Tips:

• You may find it helpful to close some views and observe one view at a time.

• You may want to try turning sunlight on and off.

What evidence from the simulation supports your answer?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the light on the moon based on its position
Accurately describes the relationship between light and the appearance of illuminated objects
Accurately describes connections to the source of evidnece
