Experiment Process
1. Lunar calendar to know in what phase of the moon we are.
2. Find the correct year and month to know when we can have: full moon, first quarter, new
moon or last quarter.
3. Write the date of when is time to count the stars.
4. Prepare a data table to count the stars for a different phases of the moon.
5. Make a bag that you have the paper tube, pencil and notebook. Conclusion
6. If in the night the sky is clear we go out and count the stars but if the sky isn’t clear we
need to go out the next day. When we check the results, we prove:
7. To start counting we need to turn off the light to make easier to count the stars. In the different phases of the moon we
