Earth-Sun-Moon System: Phases of the Moon

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered why the shape of the moon changes? Give students the opportunity to explore the phases of the moon with this engaging science worksheet! In Earth-Sun-Moon System: Phases of the Moon, learners will analyze diagrams to determine how the moon’s orbit affects the view of the moon from Earth’s surface. Students will be asked to name phases of the moon, draw pictures to represent what the moon looks like from Earth at different points in its orbit, and draw a model of the sun, moon, and Earth to show what causes a solar eclipse.
