2. Find the Diameter of the Moon:
Find the Diameter of the Moon
- Cut out a 2-cm-wide cardboard disk and tape it to a popsicle stick. On a day when you can observe the moon, have someone hold the disk while you stand far back. Slowly walk toward the disk until it just covers the entire moon from your point of view. Have another partner measure the distance from the disk to your eye and record. Find the distance from the Earth to the moon on the day the activity is performed. If you cannot find this information, use the average distance of 382,500 km. The diameter of the moon is proportional to the diameter of the cardboard. Use the equation D = L(d/l) where D is the diameter of the moon, L is the distance to the moon, d is the diameter of the cardboard, and l is the distance from your eye to the disk. Solve the equation to determine the diameter of the moon. Discuss how many times smaller the moon is than the Earth. Discuss how diameter and distance from the Earth of the moon and the sun figure in eclipses.

3. Chart the Phases of the Moon: Chart Moon Phases
- Give students a reason to gaze at the moon. Have students record moon phases through observation and use their observations to explain how these phases happen. Students can also use this data in conjunction with newspaper or online references. You can create a Calendar of December. Start on December 1st. I know that it is December 5th but you can use the Computer to find the moon phase for December 1, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Try from the 5th on to look outside! I know cloud cover is possible so remember the newspaper and internet can help you out on those days.
