Exit Slips
3
Write one thing you learned today.
2
Write one thing you found interesting.
1
Write one thing you still have a question about.
Think Pair share
You will partner in groups of five. Each group will have a question that they have to answer. You will be given five minutes to answer question. You must select a spokesperson for your group to discuss what your groups come up with.
1. Now that Pluto is no longer included, how many planets are there left in the Solar System?
2. What is the smallest planet I the Solar System?
3. Triton is the largest moon of what planet?
4. What is the brightest planet in the bright sky?
5. Phobos and Deimos

The moon has many phases and you will get to know them all. You will discover the connection between the moons’ phases and the relative positions of the moon, Earth, and sun. You will explore how the moon’s illuminated surface seems to grow and shrink over the course of a month. You will learn the difference between crescent and gibbous, and follow the moon’s journey from new moon to full moon and back again.
1. The word "waxing" can replace the first word of which phrase?
2. Which term describes the relationship between wax and wane?
3. Which hypothetical scenario would result in the moon not having different phases?
4. How much of the moon's bright side can you see during a new moon?
5. Which of the following phenomena never affects the moon's phase?
6. What can you logically conclude about the relationship between full moons and lunar eclipses?
7. Piloting a ship by moonlight is most difficult during which phase?
8. Without any other information, which of these terms best describes the moon in this image?
9. Place the following phases of the moon in the correct sequence: A)waxing crescent B) Waning gibbous C) Third quarter moon
10. How does the length of a lunar month compare to the average length of a month in a standard 365-day calendar?

...fter the new moon, the sunlit portion increases, but less than a half, so it is waxing crescent (Hisle Parker 49). After the first quarter the sunlit portion increases, but is larger than a half so therefor it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon light decreases more, the waxing gibbous becomes a waning gibbous (Murrary 161). Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which stays until the light is completely gone then it becomes a new moon (Lawler 2018).
Each group, in order, should present their slides. After the presentation, review the individual assignment. You may either brainstorm possible responses as a class, or individually. Conclude by returning to the essential question for the entire six or seven days. I like to use a “tag board.”
... sticks. When the activity is done it leaves a hardened textured surface and you can see bits of yellow showing through. During this activity you can discuss the different shapes of the moon, where the moon light comes from and what the moon is made of.
The surface of the moon is scarred with millions of impact craters. There is no atmosphere on the moon to help protect it from bombardment from potential impactors (most objects from space burn up in the Earth's atmosphere). Also, there is no erosion (wind or water) and little geologic activity to wear away these craters, so they remain unchanged until another new impact changes it. These craters range in size up to many hundreds of kilometers, but the most enormous craters have been flooded by lava, and only parts of the outline are visible. The total area of the moon is 37 930 000 square kilometers.
Assessments have always been a tool for teachers to assess mastery and for a long time it was just to provide a grade and enter it into the grade book or report card. Through resources in and out of the course, there has been a breath of new life into the research on how to use assessments. They take many forms and fall within the summative or formative assessment category. Sloan (2016) addresses how formative assessments has traditionally been used by teachers to modify instruction, but when we focus on a classroom that is learner-centered “it becomes assessment for learning as opposed to assessment of learning” (slide 4). The fact is, the students are the ones that should be and are the ones using the data we collect through assessments, since it is our way of providing feedback in order
the earth’s atmosphere the moon catches light from the sun and reflects it down to earth. As the moon reflects the sun’s light rays down to earth, those rays of light travel through the earth’s atmosphere in the form of different wavelengths which then produce different colors of visible light. For example when the moon is low in the sky and close to the earth’s horizon, light from the sun has to pass through more of the earth’s atmosphere in comparison to when the moon is high in the sky or positioned directly overhead. When this happens, air molecules filter out short wavelengths of visible light such as green, blue, and purple and scatter’s them throughout the earth’s atmosphere. When the moon is high in the sky...
Assessment plays an integral part of the teaching and learning process by providing teachers with information on students’ developing mathematical capabilities (Booker, Bond, Sparrow, & Swan, 2010; Reys et al., 2012). Assessment is a daily requirement within the primary school context and when properly developed and interpreted can be used positively to encourage students, provide information to direct and modify teaching and learning activities, provide feedback to students about progress and contribute to reporting (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development [DEECD], 2009; Junpeng, 2012; New South Wales Department of Education and Communities, 2011). This essay will examine formative and summative assessment strategies teachers
The moon is probably the most noticeable object outside of earth atmosphere besides the sun. There are a great number of facts about the moon. Most of these facts include size and distance of the moon compared to the Earth. Our moon's proper name is "Luna". Luna is 238,900 miles away from earth, and 27% smaller than earth. The moon is the most studied object outside of earths atmosphere. Luna is the only naturally made object that humans have set foot on besides earth.
In week 7 our seminar leader allocated us into smaller groups of six to work together, get together and to start preparing for the mock debate in week 9 and the debate in week 10. When we started to get alone with each other, it was seen that it is not going to be easy to achieve our goals, not just because in our group had a strong activist, reflector, theorist and pragmatist, but we also needed to face some solvable difficulties as our first meeting of the week was cancelled by problem like the lack of communication, miscommunication and the ability to listen to another.
New Moon or Dark Moon is when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun and therefor hidden. This is a time of new beginnings and new undertakings. It usually last three and a half days. The Moon's un-illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon will not visible
The Formative Assessment consists of a tear out exercise for you to complete and submit as part of your Portfolio of Evidence. This activity has been designed around the specific outcomes of your unit standards, and will assist in showing areas where you may need more help, as well as where your strengths are. Upon completion of the test, submit this as your Formative Assessment.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, visual exploration through powerful telescopes has yielded a fairly comprehensive picture of the visible side of the moon. The hitherto unseen far side of the moon was first revealed to the world in October 1959 through photographs made by the Soviet Lunik III spacecraft. These photographs showed that the far side of the moon is similar to the near side except that large lunar maria are absent. Craters are now known to cover the entire moon, ranging in size from huge, ringed maria to those of microscopic size. The entire moon has about 3 trillion craters larger than about 1 m in diameter.
Our solar system has eight planets, their moons and satellites, and they are all orbiting the Sun. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto used to be the ninth planet but IAU changed the definition of planet and Pluto did not meet the standards so it is now a Dwarf planet.
These moon rocks that the astronauts collected were taken back to Earth for study. They revealed tons of information about the moon and how old it actually is. Moon rocks collected by Apollo astronauts from that 1st moon landing contain evidence that the moon's interior is bone dry, contrary to some more recent reports, say researchers. The conclusion is based on a new
