Lesson Three: Whole Class Presentation of Virtual Reality Moon Phase Picture Internet Site.
Copy a page from a calendar for students to use to make moon illustrations. Using a TV presenter, present the following Web page to the entire class:
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html
This page shows students what the moon will look like on any date that you select. Choose the current date and show students what the moon will look like on that particular night. Have students create a sketch of what they see on the TV screen onto their calendar note sheet. Proceed with the next day’s moon phase. Have students quickly sketch again. Continue until you have shown
all of the moon phases for the entire month.
