Welcome to the Moon Over Us: Phases & Faces Project. This project promotes the observations of the Moon by students on different continents. Students learn all about the phases of the moon and how the face of the moon differs in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. Each evening they observe and sketch or take pictures of the moon beginning April 7, when the moon is full, and ending April 21, when the moon is new. Then students create webpages with their observations about the changes each day.
In the project, students and teachers from around the world exchange results and analyze the differences of images of the moon and discuss this information by commenting on each others web pages.
In addition, students will research and share stories and legends about the Moon. The result is an intercultural exchange of explanations about the differences of each country from the sky, the data gathering technology, and cultural traditions.
