MORE DIAGRAMS Waxing means to increase in size or grow larger. Waning means to decrease in size or grow smaller. In moon phases, what is increasing in size? In moon phases, what is decreasing in size?

COOL-DOWN What is a moon phase? Why does the moon have different phases throughout the month? In your agenda: write study for moon phases quiz

WARM-UP 8/26 SWBAT describe why we only see one side of the Moon. Look at your drawing of the moon phases, redraw all of the phases with the sun on the opposite side. What do you notice?

FACTS ABOUT PHASES OF THE MOON – TAKE NOTES The moon’s phases are caused by the part of the moon that reflects the sun and seen from our position on earth. The same side of the moon always faces the earth because the moon turns on its axis at the same rate as it revolves around the earth. The moon can be seen during the day during several of the moon’s phases. The time and length of day that the moon can be seen varies with the phase of the moon.

HALF TIME

PHASES OF THE MOON QUIZ

COOL-DOWN SKIP THIS COOL-DOWN WE DID NOT MAKE IT THIS FAR In your journal, explain the phases of the Moon in terms of the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Use the following words in your description: earth, sun, moon, relative, observe, phases, sunlight, reflect, orbit, position, hemispheres, revolution, rotate, waxing and waning

WARM-UP 8/29 SWBAT explain the phases of the moon in terms of the relative position of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. SWBAT explain why we only see one side of the Moon. To those that emailed me- Thank you! Grades have been fixed! The quiz is out of 8, so if you got 8, that is 100% Correct your quiz!

DEMONSTRATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. How is it possible for us to always see the same side of the moon? Why don’t we ever see the dark side? Does the Earth spin? Does the Earth orbit? Does the moon spin? Does the moon orbit? What is another word for spin? What is another word for orbit? Is there a dark side of the Moon?

Notice it’s NOT dark! The Near Side

DEMONSTRATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. How is it possible for us to always see the same side of the moon? Why don’t we ever see the dark side? The Earth spins on its axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The moon spins on its axis. The moon orbits the Earth. Rotate means spin. Revolve means orbit. There is no dark side of the Moon, all sides of the Moon get sunlight at some point in the Moon’s orbit but there is a far side that we do not see!

WRITING THIS SUMMARY IN CLASS WILL BE ONE OF YOUR “TESTS” FOR THE UNIT.

WARM-UP 8/30 SWBAT explain the phases of the Moon in terms of the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Look at the pictures below. Why do you think there are two different sets of pictures?

Northern Hemisphere Moon Phases Southern Hemisphere Moon Phases

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF THE MOON, THEN GOT ON A PLANE, WENT TO THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AND TOOK ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE SAME MOON? Choose any gibbous or crescent phase Write down the phase you picked Draw a picture of that phase Draw what the phase would look like after the plane ride

WHAT DOES THE MOON LOOK LIKE FROM THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE? Here is a waxing gibbous Moon rising over the eastern horizon, taken 28 hours apart, using the same camera, before and after an international flight from Curitiba, Brazil to Paris, France.

WRITING THIS SUMMARY IN CLASS WILL BE ONE OF YOUR “TESTS” FOR THE UNIT.

WARM-UP 8/31 SWBAT design a model to show the phases of the moon. Agenda: Get blog permission slip signed by Sept. 6 th (library day) Design your own model for the phases of the moon. How would you show the relative position of the Earth, Sun, and Moon for each moon phase? Draw a sketch of the model. Describe how the model would work.

MOON PHASE MODEL PROJECT One of your assessment for this unit is to make a model of Moon Phases. This assessment will be one of your “performance” grades. This project is worth as much as a test. This project is due on September 9, 2016. Requirements: Model accurately depicts all eight phases of the moon for observers in the Northern hemisphere, unless noted otherwise AND the phases are in the correct order. Model shows the correct relative position of each celestial body. The model shows creativity AND attention to craftsmanship. That does NOT mean that you have to buy something! You can make your model out of food, or even recycled materials! All eight phases of the moon, the Earth AND the Sun are labeled. Labels include waxing and waning when appropriate.

MODELING THE PHASES OF THE MOON Let’s look at some different ways to model the phases of the moon.

Don’t do this one, we do it in class!

You can do this – just make it 3 D! You can cut a sphere in half to the celestial bodies 3 D.

COOL-DOWN Brainstorm more ideas for your model. Once you know what you want to do, make a list of anything you will need to make the model. Share your list with your parents tonight! If you finish, work on your summary. AGENDA: share moon phases project with parents and blog permission slip!

WARM-UP 9/1/16 SWBAT write a summary about moon phases. Please finish your summary. You have 30 minutes. I will chose two summaries at random to grade on the document camera so that you can see how a “performance” summary would be graded, remember this is a test grade.

WRITING THIS SUMMARY IN CLASS WILL BE ONE OF YOUR “TESTS” FOR THE UNIT.

WARM-UP 9/2/16 SWBAT correct misconceptions about moon phases. 1. Would the Earth appear to have phases if we lived on the Moon? Draw a diagram to show what the phases of the Earth would look like. Keep in mind that the moon rotates more slowly that Earth, about the same time it takes to orbit Earth, so the same side is always facing Earth. 2. Assume we are mooninites, How many days would there be between two of the same Earth phases? 3. Do other planet’s moons have phases?

Who says the Earth doesn’t have phases? It all depends on where you are looking from!

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: Phases of the Moon are caused by a shadow from the Earth, clouds, or the Earth's or Moon's rotation. CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: Different countries see different phases of the Moon on the same day. CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: The Moon goes around the Earth in a single day. CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS Misconception: Phases of the Moon are caused by a shadow from the Earth, clouds, or the Earth's or Moon's rotation. Reality: Our perspective of the Moon's sunlit appearance changes as it orbits Earth. Misconception: Different countries see different phases of the Moon on the same day. Reality: Everyone sees the same phases of the Moon, but people south of the equator who face North to see the Moon when it is high in the sky will see the Moon upside down so that the reverse side is lit. Misconception: The Moon goes around the Earth in a single day. Reality: It takes about a month for the Moon to orbit Earth (27. 3 days to complete a revolution, but 29. 5 days to change from New Moon to New Moon).

HALF TIME 3 minute brain break Do not leave the room unless you really need to use the restroom or get a drink – no talking, do not take your phone with you, nobody needs their phone in the bathroom. No talking outside of this classroom, other classrooms are busy learning!

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: The Moon makes its own light (the same way the Sun does). CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: The Moon does not rotate. CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS WRONG: The same half of the Moon is in darkness all the time-i. e. that there is a dark side of the Moon. CORRECT:

MISCONCEPTIONS Misconception: The Moon makes its own light (the same way the Sun does). Reality: The Moon reflects the light of the Sun, just as the planets do. In fact, the bright part of the Moon is experiencing daytime. Misconception: The Moon does not rotate. Reality: The Moon does spin on its axis, completing a rotation once every 27. 3 days; the confusion is caused because it also takes the same period to orbit the Earth, so that it keeps the same side facing us. Misconception: The same half of the Moon is in darkness all the time-i. e. that there is a dark side of the Moon. Reality: The Moon has no side that is constantly dark; the front and back are alternately lit as the Moon rotates. Far side is a more accurate term.

MISCONCEPTIONS Misconception: The Moon has no gravity; things float "up" when dropped on the Moon. Misconception: The Moon is only visible at night. Misconception: The Moon becomes larger on the horizon because it is closer to Earth.

MISCONCEPTIONS Misconception: The Moon has no gravity; things float "up" when dropped on the Moon. Reality: The Moon does have gravity, but because it has less mass than the Earth, it has 1/6 of Earth's gravity at its surface. Misconception: The Moon is only visible at night. Reality: We frequently see the Moon in the day; the only phases of the Moon that cannot be seen in the day are full moon (which is usually only visible at night) and the new moon (which is not visible from Earth at all). Misconception: The Moon becomes larger on the horizon because it is closer to Earth. Reality: This is an optical illusion. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, building or other foreground objects

COOL-DOWN Agenda: Moon Phases Summary Test on Friday September 9 th. This is the same day that your project is due.

COOL-DOWN What do you need to do to be prepared to do your performance summary?

� SWBAT identify and cite credible sources. � What do you know about web literacy? � Analyze the following 3 acronyms for web literacy. �Which do you think is the best, and why?

� Since you were a child, adults were selecting books for you. Your parents chose books for you to read, while your teachers chose texts for you to use. � Now that you are old enough to visit the internet, you have to be able to make informed choices on your own.

Take Notes There is one belief we must unlearn as we enter cyberspace. It is erroneous and will cause us to make poor judgments. The mistaken belief is that. . . All that we see in print is true.

As the internet becomes a more common mode of sharing information, and as the number of sites grows exponentially, you will need to distinguish fact from fiction. After all, anyone can post messages. Anyone can create a website. Anyone can pretend to be someone else. Anyone can try to mislead you.

Armed with the right questions, you can surf the net and find valuable information that, until a few years ago, you could never access! You will be using what you learn to identify website that are credible so that you can do research for your blog post.

Take Notes adjective: credible able to be believed; convincing. "few people found his story credible" synonyms: believable, plausible, tenable, able to hold water, conceivable, likely, probable, possible, feasible, reasonable, from Latin credere ‘believe. ’

Take Notes CARS is an acronym for. . . Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, and Support CARS

Take Notes Credibility merely means that an author of a web site has credentials that prove he or she is knowledgeable in a field. After all, you don’t want information about your health provided by an electrician in Ohio who enjoys reading health guides during his lunch breaks! Thus, when you arrive at a site, you should ask several important questions that will help you assess the credibility of the site.

Take Notes • Is the author’s name present? • What type of extension is at the end of the URL? • Is there an “About this site” & is an e-mail address provided? • Is there any biographical information listed? • Does the author have a degree or job experience in the field he/she is discussing? • Is there a tilde (~) in the address or URL? • Is the author affiliated with a prominent institution? • Does he/she include a bibliography of his/her previous published works? ? Anonymity should be considered suspicious. A. com extension indicates a commercial site, whereas an edu, gov or org extension indicates an education, government or organization site. An author should be forthcoming with information about himself, his experience, and his affiliations. If any of the information provided seems fraudulent, try to cross-reference his name and check his affiliations. Also, if a tilde appears in his URL, it indicates that the site is a personal page created by an individual, not an institution. In addition, make sure the site is not created to sell a product. Usually, a “commercial” site will contain “com” in its URL. Finally, use good judgment and trust your instincts!

Take Notes Accuracy merely means that the information offered at a site is correct and supported by other reputable sources. If a site is inaccurate, its intention may be to mislead you. Thus, when you arrive at a site, you should ask several important questions that will help you assess the accuracy of the site.

Take Notes • Does the site contain numerous spelling errors or numerical inaccuracies? • Does it include information that is contradicted by other sites? • Does it contradict itself? • Is the information outdated or obsolete? • Are the links functioning? Are they annotated? • Has the site been operating properly each time you visited? • Is the content meaningful? • Does it seem like fact or fiction? ? You should be leery if a site includes errors. This suggests that the author is a questionable source of information. So too, whenever you find a site that seems like an ambiguous blend of fact and fiction, or includes nonsensical information, quickly move to another site. Also, if a site or its links do not operate properly, you cannot depend on them to provide current data. In fact, you can go to “File” and “Properties” or “Get Info” to find the last date a site was updated! Finally, any website that seems intentionally confusing or distracting should be avoided.

Take Notes Reasonableness merely means that the information, data, tone, argument and perspective offered at a site are judicious and reasonable. Remember, your goal is to avoid the odd and unreasonable world of the Thus, when you arrive at a site, you should ask several important questions that will help you assess the reasonableness of the site.

Take Notes • Is the purpose stated clearly? • Is a reasonable tone maintained throughout? • Does it offer a well-balanced argument that provides various perspectives? • Does it include biased views or exaggeration? • Are there glaring flaws in the arguments provided? • Does the author share extremist views that reveal undue anger or anxiety? • Does the author request personal data from the viewer? ? The sites that should cause you concern are those that espouse prejudicial or slanted views rather than offering a variety of opinions on a given topic. Even position papers must offer differing views and rebuttals. Obviously, exaggeration and misleading information should also cause you to be highly critical of a site. Likewise, if the explanations are rambling and unfocused, or betray extremist views, you should move on to a more reasonable site. Lastly, whenever a site prompts you to provide information about yourself, avoid it!

Take Notes Support merely means that the site is sponsored by accredited institutions, and that the author is closely affiliated with major, respected organizations. Another meaning of support is that the points made at the site are supported by evidence. Thus, when you arrive at a site, you should ask several important questions that will help you assess the support of the site.

Take Notes • Are prominent, respected institutions identified as affiliates of the site? • Is an abbreviation for a respected institution included in the URL? • Does the site offer instructional support materials from those organizations or links to them? • Does it contain primary source material and links to supporting documentation? • Are the points made proven by sound data from reliable sources? • Can you contact the affiliate organizations? ? Web site authors who are credible will provide information regarding themselves & their affiliates. If they are trustworthy, they will include links as well methods of contacting those organizations. In fact, an abbreviation for one of those institutions may appear in the address: the URL may even include “edu” or “gov. Furthermore, relevant examples, data and proof should be provided in a clear and coherent fashion. The site should clearly indicate whether its intention is to inform, persuade, educate, or entertain the viewer, so that you can be an informed, critical reader.

In addition to each of these elements (credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, support), a site should be user friendly. Its structure and design should suggest that the author has his viewers’ best interests in mind. Thus, when you evaluate a site, you may want to consider the following: The SEARCH ENGINE you choose should provide more educational and government sites than commercial sites (commercial sites usually end in “. com” or DOTCOM, an abbreviation for commercial). Avoid engines like Yahoo that bombard you with commercial sites and pop-ups. The site should be easy to navigate. The site should be audience appropriate. The internal & external links should function. The images as well as the pages should load quickly. The visual elements should help, not hinder, the viewer’s understanding. The icons should make sense and the directions should be clear. The helper applications should be easily accessible. The site should include an index and navigation buttons. The site should provide a “Works Cited” or Bibliography.

1. For what is CARS an abbreviation? 2. What must we “unlearn” as we use the internet? 3. In your opinion, what is the MOST important criterion of CARS? Why? Be prepared to support your answer! 4. What does a tilde indicate? 5. How can you find out when a site was last updated? 6. What type of tone and what kind of argument should you find at a reliable, credible website? 7. URL addresses that are accredited USUALLY end using particular extensions or abbreviations. What are they? 8. What should the viewer take into account when considering affiliates? 9. When you are researching a topic, what types of search engines should you avoid?

SWBAT complete performance summary in class. Today is your test. 1. Did you finish your notes? They’re on the board, finish them. 2. Get your project, have it at your desk. Make sure your name is on it! 3. If you don’t have your project, AND you did NOT give me a request to turn it in late, take out a sheet of paper and explain why you don’t have a project and you did not ask for an extension. There will be no cool down as today is test day.

SWBAT cite a credible source for blogging. 1. 2. 3. What do you know about MLA citations? What do you know about APA citations? Why do we do citations? We will be grading moon phase models in class on Wednesday because I have questions for some of you, also some projects were unsettled and might need to be fixed before I grade it for accuracy. Agenda: On Wednesday the 14 th write “BRING HOME MOON PHASE MODEL” if you need to arrange a ride to do that, please talk to your parents about that tonight.

� APA (American Psychological Association) is used by Education, Psychology, and Sciences. � MLA (Modern Language Association) style is used by the Humanities. � Chicago/Turabian style is generally used by Business, History, and the Fine Arts. � Write down three differences between APA and MLA. Notice where the date comes in each citation!
