Copyright © 2000 Instructions:
Put 30 chairs in a circle facing the center to represent days in the moon cycle.
Turn one of the chairs sideways to indicate a half day.
Designate one of the walls to represent the Sun and have the phaser handle always face this wall.
Place the inflatable Earth in the center of the circle of chairs.
Walk around the circle counter clockwise with the handle always pointing at the wall designated to be the sun.
From the center of the room a student can see all the phases of the moon. A camera could be at the center so all the students can see it at once.
