Presentation
Now, the different shapes of the moon that you see are what
we called the “The Phases of the Moon”, and that is our
topic for today.
Just like the Earth, the moon does not have its own light. It
reflects light from the sun. The phases of the moon you see
depend on its position in relation to the sun and earth.
And in fact, the shape of the moon does not change, only its
lighted part. Then we see less and less of its lighted part.
That is why its shape appears to change, this is what we
call, “Phases of the Moon”.
Now, let’s find out and discover why and how the moon
shows different phases through this improvised model of
the moon and earth.
(I will use an improvised model in showing how the moon
revolves and forms the different phases while revolving
around the earth in relation to the sun)…

Next, it is between the quarter and new moon and looks like
a “banca”; sometimes it is waxing and waning. What do
you call this main phase of the moon? The phase is called “Crescent Moon”.
