Roughly 4.5 billion years ago, Earth began to form as a result of matter clumping together due to gravitational attraction. Over time, these clumps of matter started crashing into each other, forming larger bodies that eventually would lead to planets and moons. Our Moon is a one of these celestial bodies. It is Earth’s only permanent natural satellite and orbits around the Earth once every 28 days. The following activities will introduce students to the phases of the moon and how the orbit of the Moon affects life on Earth!
