This Science NetLinks lesson is part of a four-part series in which students observe the daytime and nighttime sky regularly to identify sequences of changes and to look for patterns in these changes. In this lesson, students will observe the Moon each evening and draw its shape. Their sketches will then be posted on a caldendar and students will determine the pattern in the shapes over several weeks.
