“Look at the Moon”

Oh look at the moon!
It’s shining up there;
Oh mother, she looks
Like a lamp in the air

Last week, she was smaller,

And shaped like a bow;
But now, shes grown bigger,
And round as an O.

Lesson Presentation

 Presentation of Objectives of the lesson.

Lesson Proper

The shape of the moon that is illuminated and visible to the observer is
known as the phases of the moon. New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First
Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter
and Waning Crescent are the eight lunar phases. The various phases
of the moon, as well as their characteristics and illustrations, are shown
below.

1. New Moon
New moons are very difficult to see because a new moon is always
closest to the sun.

In other words, the sun isn’t shining on the moon from Earth’s
perspective. That’s what makes it so hard to see a new moon.

If the sun is on the other side of the moon, then this means that it’s
a new moon. And this is really the first phase of the 8 major phases of
the moon.

2. Waxing Crescent Moon

Because the moon orbits the Earth, it moves a bit to the east after a
couple of days.

Now, we can see the moon at a slight angle with only a partial bit of it lit
up. At this point, the crescent is still very thin.

Similar to the new moon, a waxing crescent moon is still close to the
moon but it has moved a bit to the east.

3
3. First Quarter Moon (Half Moon)

When you see half of the dark and light side, then this means the moon
is half full. The moon is orbiting and the waxing crescent moon is
growing into a first quarter moon.

During a first-quarter moon, the moon is farther away from the sun and
it’s easier to see. This is the first time that the day-night line on the
moon is halfway lit up. But it’s called a “first-quarter” moon because it’s
1/4 of the way through its cycle back to a new moon.

4. Waxing Gibbous Moon

As it grows a bit more, it becomes a waxing gibbous moon.

And gibbous simply means “convex” – that it’s more than half of a circle
but less than a full circle. In this phase, we are very close to the moon
being fully lit up by the sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, it finally
approaches a full moon.

5. Full Moon
A full moon is fully lit up from the perspective of the Earth.

When the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth, the sun illuminates
in its full. At this point, the moon has moved halfway through its orbit at
180 degrees. During a full moon, the Earth is between the sun and the
moon, and that is when the werewolves begin to transform.

6. Waning Gibbous Moon

At this point, the moon is starting to orbit past 180 degrees into
a waning gibbous moon. And we will cycle through the first 4 phases
of the moon. Instead this time, it will be in reverse order.

The waning gibbous moon means that its illuminated side is starting to
shrink from a full moon. Waning means that the moon appears to
recede in size because the sun is progressively illuminating a smaller
portion of its visible surface.

7. Last Quarter Moon (Half Moon)

Once again, we are at a point where the moon appears to split in half
as a last quarter moon.

At this phase of the moon, it has cycled through 3/4 of its life. But it has
reversed which side is lit by the sun. And instead of it progressively
appearing fuller, we begin to see less of the moon. It visibly appears to
be shrinking as it approaches back to a new moon.

4
8. Waning Crescent Moon
A couple of days after, you get a waning crescent moon.

We start to see less and less of the moon as the moon orbits past the
270° cycle.

When the moon has completed its full 360° orbit around the Earth, we
are back to the first phase.

The new moon phase marks the starting point of a brand-new cycle of
the moon.

A.1 Activities

 Class will be divided into 4 groups according to their interests

 Each group will have their assigned task
 Each group will select their reporter to present and discuss their
output
 Present Rubric on how each group will be graded
(Refer Annex 1 for Rubric)
 5 minutes shall be given to complete the task

GROUP 1 – Sketch It!

Draw the different appearances of the moon.

What are the appearances of the moon?

GROUP 2 – On Your Mark!

Mark the dates as to when the moon appears based from the calendar.
Do they appear on the same dates?

GROUP 3 – Paste Me!

Paste the picture of the moon on the manila paper provided according
to its order.
What is the correct order of the moon according to its
appearance?

5
 GROUP 4 – List It Out!

List the different activities we can do if the moon is visible at night.

What do you feel if the moon shines bright at night?

(COT INDICATOR 2:1.4.2) Use a range of teaching strategies that

enhance learner achievement in literacy and numeracy skills.

A.2 Analysis/ Discussion

The teacher discuss the lesson by using the output of each group and
some inputs.

(COT INDICATOR 2:1.4.2) Use a range of teaching strategies that

enhance learner achievement in literacy and numeracy skills.

A.3 Abstraction

VALUE FOCUS: Cooperation

 If you were given a task or group activities, what values should
you possess?

A.4 Application

Spin the Wheel!

(Refer Annex 2 for the Wheel)
 Teacher will present the Spin Wheel to the class.
 Teacher will ask a learner to spin the wheel.
 Once the wheel stops on the names of the moon, the assigned
learner will give the correct appearance of the moon.
 The learner will then spin the wheel and the Teacher will call
another learner to answer and so on…
 Teacher ask the question:
1. How many phases of the moon are there?

(COT INDICATOR 4: 4.1.2) Plan, manage implement developmentally

sequenced teaching and learning processes to meet curriculum
requirements and varied teaching context.
IV. Evaluation Multiple Choice
Direction: Write the letter of the correct answer.
(Refer Annex 3 – Multiple Choice)

(COT INDICATOR 3: 1.5.2) Apply a range of strategies to develop

critical and creative thinking, as wells as higher-order thinking skills.
V. Assignment Identify the different Phases and the exact date the moon appears in
the month of June 2024.
