TEKS 4.9(B)Direct connection

Collect and analyze data to identify sequences and predict patterns in the Moon’s observable appearance.

Use the model with collected Moon-observation data to identify sequences and predict the next appearance. Moving preset phases alone does not fulfill the data-collection requirement.

Helps students identify, sequence, and predict the observable phases of the Moon. Reinforces understanding of repeating lunar patterns and changes in the Moon’s appearance from Earth.
