Moon Phase
demonstrator
Where and when does
the moon appear in the sky when it has a
particular phase? When is the moon visible?
When does the moon rise and set in relation
to sunrise and sunset? This device helps
students conceptualize the answers to these
questions by showing how the moon’s
appearance changes over a period of one
month. A phase of the moon is selected by
turning the front disk, which correctly places
the relative position of the sun. The Earth’s
rotation is simulated by rotating the disks together
from sunrise to sunset, illustrating the
relative paths of the sun and moon. The rear
disk is screened with a visualization of the perceived shape of the moon throughout the
lunar cycle. Comes preassembled. Grades 7-12. Sh. wt. 3.50 lbs.
