If you need a natural stopping point!
Mensaje para los maestros y las maestras: Teachers: If you are short on time, this is a good stopping point. You can come back and finish your Moon Book later. If you’re continuing right now, advance to the next slide.

We suggest students work in pairs.
Each student will construct a Moon Book. Then they will observe photos of the Moon taken over the course of four weeks and draw pictures of the Moon's phases in their book.
This is a long activity. If you have limited time, you can divide this lesson into two sessions. We have marked a natural stopping point after the construction of the book.
Part 1 (create a Moon Book) takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Part 2 (record observations of the Moon in your Moon Book) takes 15-20 minutes. Part 2 begins here.
You may have heard the term “quarter moon” — the name astronomers use to describe the Moon when half its surface is bright. In this lesson, we have opted instead for the descriptive term “half moon" that matches what students see in the sky.
