Background 1. New moon 2. Waxing crescent 3. First quarter 4. Waxing gibbous 5. Full moon 1 2 3 4 5 During the revolution of the moon about the earth, the relative positions of the sun, earth, and moon change. This causes sunlight to be reflected toward the earth by different portions of the side of the moon facing us. The changing positional relationships of the sun, earth, and moon caused by the moon’s orbit about the earth are responsible for the apparent changes in its shape as viewed from Earth. Procedure for the Classroom For several weeks prior to obtaining the STARLAB, students should observe the moon outdoors each night and report on its appearance and position in the sky. Procedure for the Planetarium • Using a star chart, set the projector for the appropriate date, time, and latitude. • (Optional) Set up the slide projector on its stand just to side of the entrance tube. • Using the STARLAB moon phases (or slide projector with moon phase slides), give students practice in identifying the different phases of the moon. • Demonstrate the general path the moon takes across the sky (east to westerly movement).
Constellation Location, Activity 5-3 Objective The student should be able to locate the following constellations using the Constellation Cylinder: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Draco, Orion, Canis Major, Leo and Pegasus. Procedure Review the concept of what a constellation is. Read the Constellation Locator Script while displaying the Constellation Cylinder giving ample time for students to locate the stars in the dome as you read. Use the arrow pointer to review each of the constellations. If you feel that the students are capable, you may project the entire starfield using the Starfield Cylinder and review those constellations covered.
