Review of the Past Lesson
- Before we are going to have a new lesson. Let
us recall / review our past lesson, “Weather
Disturbances in the Philippines and their Effects to
Daily Life”
1. What is Weather disturbances?
2. What is Weather?
3. What are the different factors that affects the
weather?
B. Establishing a purpose for Have you seen moon at night? What is the
the lesson/Motivation/ shape of the moon?
Motive Questions
The teacher shows the words in a flash card
one at a time and the pupil will read and give the
meaning of each word then let the pupils use the
word in a sentence.
Satellite – is an object that revolves around a larger
object.
Revolution – apparent movement of such a body
round the earth.
Rotation – the circular motion of an object around its
center
Reflection – it is the light coming from the sun that
reflects to the earth
Moon – is the only natural satellite that earth has.
Today our new lesson is all about “Pattern in the
change in the appearance of the moon”
Have you seen a moon? How would you describe
it?
When can we see the moon?
Look at the pictures. Tell what are the phases of
the moon shown.
C. Presenting examples/ - Alright class, the moon has characteristics:
instances of the new The moon is the only natural satellite that
earth has. A satellite is an object that
lesson revolves around a larger object. The moon
does not produce its own light. It only reflects
the light coming from the sun. Since the
moon is revolving around the earth, the
amount of light reflected from the sun varies
as it changes its position.
The moon takes 29 ½ days cycle to complete
one cycle. This period is also called a month.
The moon’s appearance changes from time
to time. It is because the illuminated portion
of the moon changes as it moves around the
earth. This apparent change in the
appearance of the moon is known as the
phases of the moon.
- Phases of the moon:
The moon has four phases. These are the
new, first quarter, full moon, and the last
quarter moon. It takes about one week for a
moon to change from one phase to another.
When the moon is between the sun and the
earth, you cannot see the moon; it is called
new moon. During this phase, the moon is
not visible from the earth. This is because the
side of the moon that is facing us is not being
lit by the sun. About a week after the new
moon, you see half of the lighted side of the
moon. This is called the first quarter moon.
A week after the first quarter moon, you can
see the whole lighted side of the moon. This
is called the full moon. A full moon appears
as the entire circle in the sky. On the third
week of the month, you again see half of the
moon’s lighted part. This is called last
quarter moon. Soon the moon disappears
again; another new moon appears.
When the moon is in between the
appearance of the quarter moon and new
moon, the moon is called crescent. Crescent
moon is less than half-lit.
When the moon is in between quarter moon
and full moon, the moon is called gibbous.
Gibbous moon is more than half-lit. The
moon goes through eight phases in 29 ½
days. The period it takes the moon to
complete is called a month.
Waxing Phases of the Moon:
After a new moon, when the moon seems to
be growing, it is undergoing a waxing phase.
As the moon starts to appear in a semi-
circular form, waxing crescent starts to
appear. During the first quarter, half of the
moon is lighted and visible. When most of the
portion of the moon is visible in the sky, it is
known as waxing gibbous. Then, the whole
lighted side of the moon that is visible from
earth is known as the full moon. A full moon
appears as an entire circle in the sky.
Waning Phases of the Moon:
After full moon, the waning phase of the
moon starts. It is when the moon appears to
be getting smaller each night. Wanting
gibbous appears after a full moon. Most of
the portion of the moon is visible in the sky
but, this time, it gets smaller every night.
Then, the last quarter will be seen followed
by a waning crescent.
- How phases of the moon affect the lives of
people:
Phases of the moon are often associated with
superstitious beliefs because they have great
impact on earth and, in turn, affect our lives.
Moon and Planting
Many farmers believed that planting when the
moon is in specific phases may bring good
harvest. It is because the growth rate of the
plants can be affected by them. The different
phases of the moon influence the
groundwater beneath the earth and affect the
movement of fluids within plants. During the
waxing phases of the moon – from new moon
to full moon, the moisture of the soil is at
higher level. This may bring germination and
growth to plants, that is why many farmers
opt to sow the seeds of their crops during this
time.
Moon and Weather
When the sun, moon and earth line up and
the moon is at its perigee (closest to the
earth), you can expect lower temperature.
This is due to combine gravitational pull of
the moon and the sun. The moon does affect
the but not significantly. It affects the
atmosphere the same way it affects the
ocean. When the phase of the moon is full
moon or new moon, it causes a “bulge” in an
ocean; a similar thing happens with the
atmosphere; it attracts the atmosphere to
itself.
Tides
Gravitational forces exist between the moon
and the earth to hold each other in their
respective positions. These gravitational
forces affect earth’s tides. Tides are the rising
and falling of sea levels with respect to land.
Imagine the moon as a magnet and earth as
a huge metal. When one side of the earth is
close to the moon, this side of the earth will
be pulled towards the moon causing it to
bulge. Since earth is covered with 75% of
water, this bulging side causes the ocean
level to rise. The rising of ocean level is
known as high tide. On the other hand, the
other side experiences low water level since
the water is concentrated on the other side.
This is known as low tide.
- Effects of revolution of the moon around the
earth:
The moon spins around on its own axis in the same
amount of time. It takes 29 ½ days to make one
revolution of the Earth. The moon’s trip around the
Earth impacts Earth’s tides and causes eclipses
when certain alignments of the Earth, sun and moon
occur.
