MONDAYS ONLY: Target: Moon

by  Cleveland Museum of Natural History

Program image

We’ll focus on all things
lunar. The origin of the Moon, its ancient battered surface, its phases and its
tidal effects on Earth. Follow the Moon’s monthly path across the sky and learn
why its shape appears to change.

Program Details

Format

1. This program begins with a tour of the current evening sky.
2. We then discuss various cycles and patterns including lunar phases, eclipses, and tides.
3. Participants view high-resolution imagery of the Moon's surface, learning about lunar geology as well as the Apollo missions.
4. Time is allowed for questions and answers.

Objectives

- Recount how the Moon formed from the impact of another planet with the Earth billions of years ago.
- Explain the difference between the light and dark regions of the Moon's surface.
- Name some geologic processes that result in a variety of lunar surface features.
- Name the phases of the Moon and identify them in order of appearance.
- Explain why the Earth’s oceans have tides.
- Describe the reasons for solar and lunar eclipses.

State Standards

OHIO'S LEARNING STANDARDS

Grade 5:
Earth and Space Science – Cycles and Patterns in the Solar System
- The Solar System includes the Sun and all celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Each planet in the Solar System has unique characteristics.
- The Sun is one of many stars that exist in the Universe.
- Most of the cycles and patterns of motion between the Earth and Sun are predictable.

Grade 6
Physical Science – Matter and Motion
- There are two categories of energy: kinetic and potential.
- An object’s motion can be described by its speed and the direction in which it is moving.

Grade 7
Earth and Space Science – Cycles and Patterns of Earth and the Moon
- The relative pattern of motion and positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun cause solar and lunar eclipses, tides and phases of the Moon.

Grade 8
Earth and Space Science – Physical Earth
- A combination of constructive and destructive geologic processes formed the Earth’s surface.
- Evidence of the dynamic changes of Earth’s surface through time is found in the geologic record.
Earth and Space Science – Forces and Motion
- Forces between objects act when the objects are in direct contact or when they are not touching.
- Forces have magnitude and direction.
Grade 9-12
Physical Science – Forces and Motion
- Forces – Types of forces (gravity, friction, normal, tension)
- Forces – Field model for forces at a distance
