Eight numbered pins mark the moon pictures around the phase wheel, and children write each phase's name on the matching line from memory. It makes a fast check after a lesson on the phases of the moon, or review before a test. The answer key pairs each number with its name.
For warm-up, try the "Name the phase" quiz and the "Order it" quiz in the interactive moon phases explorer, or the moon phases worksheet with its word bank.
Tips for using it
- Give a bonus point for writing when each phase is visible, like "evening" or "all night".
- Ask older students to mark which phases can have an eclipse (new and full).
