Water Cycle Song lyrics:

(Sang to the tune of She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (use pointer finger to make a big circle)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does (repeat finger circle)

It goes up as evaporation (moves hands up to the sky)

Forms clouds as condensation (make a cloud overhead with arms)

Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does! (sprinkle with fingers while bringing arms down in front of you)

MOON PHASES (<--click)

Moon Song (<--click on me)

 

Moon Phase Form (Page 5)

 

It takes our Moon about 29.5 days to completely cycle through all eight phases. Occasionally (about every 2.7 years) there are two Full Moons in the same month. This is referred to as a Blue Moon. Hence the saying "Once in a Blue Moon".

 

Moon Phases for November 2011

 

MOON PHASES (<--click pn me)

 

Phase 1 - New Moon - The side of the moon that is facing the Earth is not lit up by the sun. At this time the moon is not visible. 

Phase 2 - Waxing Crescent - A small part (less than 1/2) of the moon is lit up at this point. The part that is lit up is slowly getting bigger.

Phase 3 - First Quarter - One half of the moon is lit up by the sun at this point. The part that is lit up is slowly getting bigger.

Phase 4 - Waxing Gibbous - At this time half of the moon is lit up. The part that is lit is slowly getting bigger. Waxing means to slowly get bigger.

Phase 5 - Full Moon - The side of the moon that is lit up by the sun is facing the Earth. The entire moon is lit up at this point.

Phase 6 - Waning Gibbous - The moon is not quite lit up all the way by sunlight. The part of the moon this is lit is slowly getting smaller. Waning means to slowly get smaller.

Phase 7 - Last Quarter - Half of the moon is lit up but the sun. The part that we can see lit up is slowly getting smaller.

Phase 8 - Waning Crescent - A small part of the moon is lit up at this point. It is getting smaller by the minute.
