Enrichment: The Journey of the MoonIn this activity, the students will use the concept of arc length to determine the distance the moon moves in an hour.

Learning Objectives:Students will:

Predict how far the moon travels in an hour.

Collect data using a clinometer.

Use the data to determine the distance the moon travels in an hour.

Enrichment: The Journey of the MoonInstructional Plan:1. Ask the students how many miles they think the

moon travels in an hour? This should bring up a discussion on what information is needed in order to make a guess.

2. Provide the following information: The moon travels a distance of 1,423,000 miles around the earth.

3. Show the following link and work with students to have each make a clinometers.

of the activity.

Enrichment: The Journey of the MoonIn this activity, you will determine how far the moon

travels in an hour.1. What is your prediction? I believe that the moon travels

___________________ miles in one hour.2. Tonight, at the top of the hour (any time after 7:00

pm), measure the position of the moon using your clinometers.

The moon is at ____________________o

3. An hour later, repeat step 2. The moon is at ____________________o

4. How far did the moon travel within that hour?5. Was your prediction accurate? If not, what could

have been the reason(s) for the inaccuracy?
