https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u A student wrote in her notebook: "The new Moon happens when Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. This happens once a month." Do you agree with this student?

The reason the moon changes is because the sun only shines on half of the moon as it rotates around Earth. According to what I have learned, the sun shines on half the sun, plus the Earth doesn't cast a shadow except for one special day every couple of years. I know this because this was tought to me by my school in science class. That is why she/he is wrong.]]> 2017-09-11 15:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186427949 149423 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186427953 I do not agree with this student because the New moon phase happens when the moon is between the Earth and the sun so the half of the moon that is facing the sun is lit up, and the half of the moon that is facing away from the sun is dark. Since we are on Earth and the moon is in between the sun and Earth we see the half that is dark. The student got the New Moon Phase confused with a Lunar Eclipse. A Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon during the Full Moon phase. I know this because we have been talking about the moon phases in class. ]]> 2017-09-11 15:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186427953 169361 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186427984 I do not agree. I don't agree because when the moon is in the New Moon phase it is in front of Earth and kind of in front of the Sun. I know this because we talk about it in class and I've seen it myself too. For example when we have a Solar Eclipse the moon has to be in the New Moon phase because when it is its directly below our line of sight to the sun and the moon goes up making a Solar Eclipse so it would be impossible for Earth to block the "Moon's light" when the moon is blocking the sun's light.]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186427984 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428028 2017-09-11 15:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428028 149311 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428075 No, I disagree with this student. The  Earth and the Moon rotate. Earth and Moon both happen to have an axis. That means that the Moon and Earth rotate in a diagonal, 23.5 degree way. That means that when the Moon is considered to be " new", it is facing away from the sun but is facing us.  ]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428075 175152 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428178 I don't agree, when this happens it is called a lunar eclipse. The reason  is because the Sun is shining on one half of the Moon at once  and it depends on the angle we see it. In this case it is between the sun and the Earth, one half is lit up and the other dark since it is in front of us we see all black.Earth only casts a shadow on it every once in a while. I know because we are learning in science about Moon phases, and why and how they happen.]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428178 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428194 I do not agree with this student' because this is not the case. The reason there are moon phases in the specific order, are because since only half of the earth can be dark at once, depending on how much we have rotated depends on how much of the bright parts of the moon we see from different point of views/angles/places. And, if this was true, we would have a lunar eclipse every night!]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428194 14966 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428222 I do not agree with the student because if the earth cast a shadow every month, how would full moon happen? New moon relay happens because when moon is in front of the sun we cannot see the backside of the moon. I know this because we did simulations, and we are learning about the moon phases. If there was a lunar eclipse every month there would also be a solar eclipse.]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428222 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428332  I do not agree with this student, because half of her response is wrong. Although the New Moon happens once a month, It does not appear that way because of a shadow. It appears that way, because the moon is in between the Earth and the sun. Causing the sun to shine on the part that Earth doesn't see.

What he is describing is a lunar eclipse. I know this because of the definitions on page 44 in my science notebook. If that was why it happened then we would have a lunar eclipse every month and there wouldn't ever be a full moon ]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428335 Father_Ross https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428367 A new moon is when the sun's rays are hitting the moon but we are only seeing the dark side of the moon! The student is talking about a Lunar Eclipse. New moons happen for about 3-4 days a month, or moonth.

The sun lights up the part of the moon facing it. As an observer on Earth, when the moon is in a new moon stage, we are seeing the dark side. The other side of the moon is lite up and we can see that side because it is facing away from Earth. I k now this because of Mrs. Proper block 2. I have had experience with this topic because Mrs. Proper has taught me this and she has proven it many times with videos, examples, and different activities that she had for me to do.]]> 2017-09-11 15:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428400 149283 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428484 I do not agree with this student because the new moon is not caused by the earth covering the moon. If so it would be called a lunar eclipse not a new moon. A new moon is when the moon is a little bit lower than the sun and the sun is shinning on the other side of the moon making us see the dark side. Also, we don't have a lunar eclipse every month, but we do have a new moon every month]]> 2017-09-11 15:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428484 150057 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428756 This student in not correct because its a lunar eclipse when that happens and they don't happen every month a new moon is caused by the sun shining on the other side of the moon that we cant see.I know this because we have discussed this in science class]]> 2017-09-11 15:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186428756 149123 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186429267 I disagree with this student that the new moon phase happens when Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Earth does cast a shadow on the moon in every other phase. Waxing Crescent, Waning Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, you name it! Except the Full moon when the moon is higher than Earth. Earth is tilted on an axis, so is the moon, and so is the moon's orbit around Earth.  I know this because I have seen examples of the tilt and the orbit. I can relate to this because  I too didn't know what caused the moon phases until I worked on and learned about it in class.]]> 2017-09-11 15:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186429267 https://padlet.com/kproper/dve4ebp1802u/wish/186429312 I disagree that the New Moon happens when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. The Earth casts shadows on the moon for every phase but the Full moon. The New Moon happens when the Earth's shadow completely covers the half of the moon we see.

The reason for this is because the moon is an opaque object, so the sun light is only on the side facing away from Earth so we can't see the moon.I found this out in 6th grade science class during a project.

As an observer on Earth,( on the new moon phase) we can see the side that isn't lit up, because the sun and moon would be in front of us, so the light would be on the front half of the moon (the half that we can't see). The student just explained a lunar eclipse (except eclipses don't happen once a month.). But  the new moon phase could happen once a month or a couple times a month.

New Moon  occurs when the sun is casting light on halve of the moon and the other halve is dark. Although, it still depends on the angle the earth is. This is because half of the moon is always lit up, but sometimes the point where  you are at on the Earth is facing slightly towards it wouldn't be a new moon because you would see some of the light on the moon. When you are completely on the the side that is facing away from the sun it would be a new  moon.
