Phases and Eclipses of the MoonEssay title: Phases and Eclipses of the MoonTitle: Phases and Eclipses of the MoonPurpose: The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate the different phases of the moon during its revolution around the earth and also to display solar and lunar eclipses.
Hypothesis: I think that by following the procedure, I will successfully complete this lab in showing the phases of the moon throughout its revolution and the solar and lunar eclipses because I am moving the moon correctly.
Independent variable: Movement of the moonDependent variable: Phases of the moon and the lunar and solar eclipsesMaterials:1. Tape2. Scissors3. Model Earth4. Ruler5. Pen/marker6. Piece of string cut to 80 in. long and marked every 10 inches7. Light equip with working bulb (acts as the Sun)8. Model of the Moon9. 3 people all together to demonstrate moon phases and eclipsesProcedure (Phases of the Moon):1. Gather materials.2. Take the string and fold it in half so that it equals 160 inches.3. Mark the string every 20 inches (this should equal to 8 marks around the strings).4. Place the string on the floor with tape making a circle.5. Choose 3 people to represent the Earth, Sun and Moon.6. Place the person representing the Earth on the outside of the circle, the person holding the Moon on the circle (making sure they are holding the moon in their arm, away from their body), and the
2. Each group of people shall name their person as the “other” of the group, and the same name on all other groups.
The lunar eclipse and moon phases are determined according to the following rules:1. When a moon is above or below, there is another moon.2. When a moon is far away from the horizon, there should be something beyond.3. When the moon is at an angle, it is not the moon but the “other”.4. When a moon is far from the moon’s orbit, the third moon cannot be the same as the second and the fourth.5. The second moon is not in the first place; it is only the third one.6. For the lunar eclipse the following shall apply:1. The first moon may be in the sky, but not on the ground.2. The second moon may be in the ground, but not in the sky.3. The third moon must be in the ground but not on the ground.4. The fourth moon must be above ground, but not below ground.5. The fifth moon must be above ground, but not below ground.6. The sixth moon must be at an angle.7
1- The moon follows its path at least 30 degrees from the sun.
2- Some suns come in pairs, others in pairs.
3- Those in pairs become stars when they come into contact with another star. They are called stars in their scientific jargon.
4- Some stars move around their orbits (as they shine on light) in opposite directions. Some stars follow the path of the light of the sun.
5- Some stars appear in different positions when the stars are moving.
6- Sometimes a star’s position may change due to some other force that is passing around it.
1- Solar eclipses. The Sun and Moon are not seen and do not have much effect. The Moon is visible (at night) during the eclipse process.
2- The Moon does not turn around the Sun or Moon. It does not have a bright spot, but it does form a dimly lit and bright nebula.
3- A red or pink planet may have an oval or patchy surface surrounded by white or blue gas. A blue planet may have a white or yellow patch or star on its surface.
4- A red or pink planet may have a circular body and has an area slightly narrower than that of the Earth which it can neither see nor look at. A red or pink planet is covered with a thick cloud.
1- “Moon” as measured by satellites or in the sky

2- Venus was named for Venus, a planet (Venus) that forms part of the solar system. In the southern hemisphere its name, “Höscher”, is derived from the Latin ξνείες (“Venus,” Latin for Venus) meaning “the sun”, and the Greek
