EXPLORE On a computer, go to bit.ly/024explore Try to find the following information: ★ What is the name of each phase? ★ Why does this phase happen? ★ At what point in the lunar cycle does this phase happen? (Beginning, middle, end) ★ What does ‘waning’ and ‘waxing’ mean? - @stemettes | #stemillions
EXPLORE Now you’ve done the research, make a poster or wall display to explain all of the information you found out. - @stemettes | #stemillions
