Gave time to review eclipse info and vocab on circles. Quiz on vocab.
Went over phases of moon showing pictures and describing the various phases.
It takes about 3.5 days to go from one phase to the next so you can only see one phase of the moon in one night.
Went out into the courtyard to to phases of the moon lab.
Extra info: Horns of crescent moon always point away from the Sun.
A line joining the horns of a crescent moon points south.
Moon poem: If right is bright, then wax to max.
