Does the moon really grow smaller and then larger? Does the moon really change its shape? No matter what we see when we look at the moon, its real shape never changes. The moon reflects light from the sun. The sun nearly always lights half of the moon. The other half is always dark. The amount of the moon we see changes because the moon moves around the Earth. This changes the position of the Earth in relation to the moon and the sun. The moon never goes away or changes shape. We just see a different amount of sunlight being reflected from the moon to the Earth. What we see depends on where the moon is, where the sun is, and where the Earth is. These changes we see are called phases of the moon. They change in a pattern that repeats itself once a month. When the moon and the sun are on the same side of the Earth, the side of the moon that faces the Earth is dark. It looks like there is no moon. We call this a new moon. Each night we see a little more of the moon. This is called waxing, or growing larger. After about two weeks, when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, we see the lighted side of the moon. This is called a full moon. Then the moon begins to change again. We see a little less of the moon each night until the new moon. This is called waning, or growing smaller.

3 Science Analogies Science Analogies Science Analogies : means is to :: means as so in : out :: up : down means in is to out as up is to down Follow these steps: 1. Take an answer form and one envelope from the folder. 2. Circle the number of the set on your answer form. 3. Read each analogy and match it to the missing word. 4. Copy the analogy on to the answer form. 1. Take a piece of writing paper from the folder and number it 1 through Write eight science analogies of your own by Evan-Moor Corp. 9 Science Centers Take It to Your Seat EMC 5003 Prepare a folder following the directions on page 3. Laminate the cover design on page 7 and the student directions on page 9. Attach the cover to the front of the folder and the student directions to the back of the folder. Preparing the Center 1. Laminate and cut out the task cards on pages 11, 13, and 15. Place each set in an envelope. Label the envelopes Science Analogies Set 1 and Science Analogies Set Place the envelopes of cards in the right-hand pocket of the folder. 3. Reproduce the answer form on page 6 and place copies in the left-hand pocket of the folder. For, place writing paper in the left-hand pocket of the folder. Using the Center 1. The student takes asetof task cards and circles the set number on the answer form. 2. The student lays out the analogy cards and the answer cards. Then he or she reads each analogy and matches it to an answer card. 3. Finally, the student copies the complete analogy onto the answer form. The student takes a sheet of writing paper and writes eight new science analogies by Evan-Moor Corp. 5 Science Centers Take It to Your Seat EMC 5003
