Investigation Question: If half of the Moon is always illuminated, why does its appearance from Earth change?
- Claim 1: The Moon’s appearance changes because Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.
- Claim 2: The Moon’s appearance changes because the position of the Moon changes.
Gather and check evidence that supports either that the Moon’s appearance changes because Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. OR, the Moon’s appearance changes because the position of the Moon changes.
