Thanks for downloading this Phases of the Moon

Foldables set. Included has two Phases of the Moon

foldables and a quiz. One is an overlay and underlay in
color and black & white and the second is a diamond
foldable. The underlay can be used for a science/
language arts close read. This is perfect for
interactive science journals. This is a mini version of
my Earth, Moon, & Sun Mega Bundle. Other
products from my store you may also enjoy are the:

Every night the Moon appears to change shape since it

shows a different face in the sky. Some nights we see the
whole Moon lit up, and other nights we see a partially lit
Moon or none at all. These changes are called phases, and it
happens to the Moon every 28 or 29 days as it revolves
around Earth. There are eight main phases. As the Moon
revolves or orbits around the Earth, its position changes, so
the light we can see also changes. Rotate means to spin in
place. The Moon takes one month to rotate while our Earth
only takes 24 hours to rotate on its axis of rotation. As a
result, we only see one side of the Moon. The other side is
often called the Dark Side of the Moon.
