We learned new ways to show the moon phases and it helped us understand the orbit of the moon and it's phases better. We held a foam ball (moon) in the air while turning ourselves (earth) around in an orbit while our partner shined a flashlight at the ball to represent the sun. We noticed the new moon, the waxing and waning crescents, the first and last quarter, the waxing and waning gibbous, and the full moon.
