How to Make a Moon Phaser 1. Cut out both parts and connect with a brass fastener through the black dots. 2. Hold the clock so the halfcircle part has the word “Horizon” right side up. 3. To find the time that the moon rises, find the desired phase. Try “New” first. Place it at “E” for east. The “To the Meridian” arrow will point toward 6 a.m. That is about the time it rises. 4. Rotate the phase part until “New” is lined up with the “To the Meridian” arrow. Then the moon is highest in the south. The arrow points to “Noon.” Rotate the phase part until it is at the “W” for west, therefore setting. The arrow will point toward 6 p.m. • B–13 • K–6 <strong>Activities</strong>
