Here we have several hands-on activities to teach the causes of Moon phases. Each activity can be used stand-alone, in or outside the classroom, with students or adults.
We also provide a Powerpoint presentation and extensive teacher guide on how to use Active Engagement to teach and learn Moon phases. The presentation was initially developed as a hands-on high school teacher workshop to be given in Developing Nations where new teaching methodology might not always be known.
The bulk of the activities relate to modeling Moon phases as a part of teaching and learning them. The Teacher Guide includes extensive commentary for most slides as well as complete instructions for doing the various activities.
