Artemis ROADS – Unit 1 Lesson 3: Destination Moon

In this lesson: Students will share their prior knowledge of the Moon phases in their everyday experiences at home or school. Then, students will observe Moon phases and relate them to the relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon using an orbit simulator. Students will use what they learn to compare and contrast science and cultural explanations, create a group calendar, and predict the Moon phase on their next birthday. Finally, students will document their findings from this lesson.
