Order the Moon Cycle
Put the Moon phase cycle in order. The cycle repeats over and over.
Beginner ELL Core Idea
- The Moon moves around Earth.
- Gravity pulls the Moon and water.
- Moon shapes change in a cycle.
Arrange the phases
Start with a New Moon you cannot see, move to a Waxing Moon that grows, then a Full Moon, then a Waning Moon that shrinks.
Reading
The Moon orbits Earth. We see different shapes because sunlight hits the Moon from new angles. A New Moon is dark. A Waxing Moon grows. A Full Moon looks like a full circle. A Waning Moon shrinks. The cycle is cyclical and repeats.
Tip: New Moon -> Waxing -> Full Moon -> Waning -> repeat.
