V. Learning Experiences (5Es)

Engage Ask the learners the following:
7mins  What is your favourite time of the day? Why? (Guide the learners to
answer NIGHT)
 What are the things you see in the night sky? (Focus on the moon)
 Describe the surface of the moon as seen on Earth? (round, yellow, has
black patches)
 What have you noticed with the shape of the moon every night?
  Why do you think the moon changes its shapes or faces?
 What causes them?

*Note the learners’ answers to the questions.

Now, let us watch a video and find out why.

Explore Before playing the video clip on the changes of the appearance of the
5mins moon, tell the learners to note of the following while watching.

1. Different phases of the moon

2. Causes of the changing phases of the moon

Explain After watching the video clip, post on the board the Moon Phases Chart,
18mins then ask the learners the following:

 What happens to the appearance of the moon as seen on Earth in

a month? (changes)
 What do we call these changes on the appearance of the moon?
(phases of the moon)
 What are the different phases of the moon? (new moon, waxing
crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning
gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent)
 How does each phase differ from the others?
 What causes these changes? (moon’s revolution on Earth,
moon’s rotation; and both moon and Earth revolve the Sun)
*Note: use the Moon Phase Chart to show the movement and
position of the moon as it orbits the Earth.
 Why do people on Earth view only one side of the moon?
(because the moon rotates completely the same time it takes to
revolve on Earth)
 What do these phases tell about the characteristics of the moon?
(the moon is always lit; it revolves and rotates every 28 days)
 How do we relate the month to lunar cycle?
