The Moon and Moon Phases

7
What’s the Phase?
Waxing Crescent – A little part of the moon’s right side is in
light.

Full Moon - The moon's entire disk is in sunlight because the

Earth is between the sun and the moon

Gibbous Waxing – About ¾th of the right side moon’s disk is in

sunlight.

1st Quarter - The right half of the moon’s disk is in light.

Waxing – Getting larger.

New Moon - The moon's disk facing us is dark because the

moon is between the sun and the earth.

Last Quarter - The left half of the moon's disk is in sunlight.

Waning Crescent - A little part of the moon’s left side is in

sunlight.

Gibbous Waning - About ¾th of the left side moon’s disk is in

sunlight.

Waning – Getting smaller.

 Building a Wind Vane
A wind vane is used to show the direction of the
wind.

Things you will need:

 a long tack
 scissors
 modelling clay
 a plastic pot or container, e.g., from take-out
food
 ruler
 glue stick
 thin, coloured card
 drinking straw
 2 pencils with eraser
 compass

Instructions:

1. Turn the plastic container upside down. Make a hole in the

centre by inserting the pencil, sharp end first. Make sure
that it is firmly in place.

2. With another pencil and a ruler, draw two large triangles

and four small ones on the coloured card.

3. Then cut out the shapes.

10
4. Glue the small triangles to the base of the plastic
container at equal distances and on opposite sides from
each other as on a compass. One point of each small
triangle should overlap the edge of the pot, with the pencil
in the middle.

5. Cut short slits in each end of the straw and insert one
large triangle in each end to make an arrow-shaped "vane."

6. Push the tack through the centre of the straw and into the
eraser on the pencil sticking out of the pot.

7. Secure the other end of the pot to a surface with a ring of

modelling clay.

8. Take the vane outside or to a simulated windy weather

area and watch it swing in the wind.

9. Finally, use your compass to determine East, West, North

and South, and then label the small triangles accordingly.
Now you can tell which direction the wind vane is pointing.
