The Freedom of the Moon

I've tried the ne w moon tilted in the air Abo ve a hazy tr ee- an d-f armhous e clust e r

As you might try a jewe l in your hair.I've tried it f ine with little br e a dth of lust e r,

Alone , or in on e ornam e nt combiningWith on e f irst -wat e r start almost shining.

I put it shining anywh e r e I ple as e .By walking slowly on som e eve ning late r,I've pulled it f rom a crat e of crook ed tr ee s, And brought it ove r glossy wat e r, gr e at e r,

And d ropp ed it in, an d s ee n the imag ewallow,Th e color run, all sorts of won de r f ollow.

S tudents will understand the effects of the relative positions of the earth, moon,and sun.

De monstrat e the phas e s of the moon by showing the alignm e nt of the e arth, moon, an dsun.

S tudents will use the ideas of system, model, change, and scale inexploring scientific and technological matters.a. Obs e r ve an d ex plain how parts ar e r e lated to oth e r parts in syst e ms such as we ath e r syst e ms, solar syst e ms, an d oc e an syst e ms inclu ding how the output f rom on e part of a syst e m ( in thef orm of mat e rial, e ne rgy, or inf ormation) can be com e the input to oth e r parts. b.

S tudents will communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly.b. Unde rstan d an d de scrib e how writing f or sci e ntif ic purpos e s is diffe r e nt than writing f or lite rary purpos e s.c.

1. Try this little de monstration. You will need a lamp an d a small ball (like a te nnis ball or a so f tball). If the lamp has a sha de , tak e it off . P r e te nd the lamp is the S un, the ball is the M oon, an d your he a d is E arth. D ark e n the room ex ce pt f or the lamp.

2. Now, hol d the ball straight out in f ront of you.

S tan d f acing the lamp. The ball will app e ar dark be caus e the light ed side of the ball is f acing away f rom you. This position r e pr e s e nts the Ne w M oon, dark an d about to be born.

3. Now, turn just a little tiny bit to your lef t, still hol ding the ball straight out. You will s ee only a thin lighted cr e sc e nt on the right side of the ball.

4. Now turn to the lef t a little mor e until the light is on your right. You will s ee hal f the lighted side of theball. This position r e pr e s e nts the F irst Quart e r phas e of the M oon.

Tides

Tide s ar e the ve rtical rising an dlowe ring of s e a leve l, an d ar egr e atly controll ed by the

gra vitational pull of the sun an dmoon. Although the sun has a strong e r gra vitational attraction than the moon, the moon 's r e lative ne arn e ss to the e arth mak e s its gra vitational pull mor e than twice as effe ctive as the sun 's.


24/26

W hat Does the Pull of the Moon Do tothe Oceans?The gra vitational pull of the moon cr e at e s two type s of tide s: high an d low. A tidal bulg eoccurs in the oc e ans on the side of the e arth ne ar e st the moon; a s e con d tidal bulg e occurs on the f ar side of the e arth. The s e bulg e s ar ehigh tide s. The ar e as be twee n the tidal bulg e s ex pe rie nc e low tide . Usually two high an d two low tide s occur e ach 24 hours an d 50 minut e s.


25/26

S pring Tides And Neap Tides

Wh e n the moon is f ull or ne w, the gra vitational pull of themoon an d sun ar e combin ed . At the s e time s,th e high tide s ar e ve ry high an d the low tide s ar e ve ry low. This is known as a spring high tide .


26/26

During the moon 's quart e r phas e s the sun an d moon work at right angl e s, causing the bulg e s to canc e l e ach oth e r.

Th e r e sult is a small e r differ e nc e be twee n high an d low tide s an d is known as a ne ap tide .
