GRAPHING ACTIVITY Earth's Moon

This is a great way to incorporate graphing into a unit about Earth's Moon. Students will construct a total of 6 graphs (2 line graphs and 4 bar graphs) using data provided. Each part has questions to help students analyze the graph(s), apply information, and draw conclusions.

Part 1: Phases of the Moon
- Students will construct a line graph the percent of the illuminated part of the Moon seen from Earth each day for 1 month.

Part 2: Ocean Tides
- Students will construct a line graph for the time and height of the ocean water over two days.

Part 3: Solar Eclipses
- Students will construct two bar graphs. The first bar graph shows the number of total solar eclipses each century for the past 1000 years. The second bar graph shows the number of partial solar eclipses each century for the past 1000 years.

Part 4: Lunar Eclipses
- Students will construct two bar graphs. The first bar graph shows the number of total lunar eclipses each century for the past 1000 years. The second bar graph shows the number of partial lunar eclipses each century for the past 1000 years.
