1. How does the location and time of the sunrise or sunset change over the period that you observed them? How would it change over an entire year?
2. Prepare a table and draw a graph of location vs. date. Plot date on the horizontal (x) axis and moonrise or moonset on the vertical (y) axis.
3. How does the time of sunrise or sunset change over the period that you observed them? How would it change over an entire year?
4. Sketch a graph of the expected change in sunset location throughout the year.
1. How does the time and location of the moonrise or moonset change from day to day in relation to the background stars and the sun?
2. At that rate how long would it take to "lap" the sun.
3. How does the time of moonrise or moonset change over the period that you observed them? How would it change over an entire year?
4. Prepare a table and draw a graph of moonrise or moonset times. Use date on the horizontal (x) axis and moonrise or moonset times on the vertical (y) axis.
1. How does the time of the moonrise or moonset change with the phase? Prepare a table and draw a graph of the difference between moonrise and sunrise with date on the horizontal (x) axis and the time difference on the vertical (y) axis.
2. What phase would the moon be in if it rose around 3 A. M.?
Another is to use a 3x5 or 4x6 note card to make a pyramid. Fold the card so that the folded edge lines up with one side. Cut the card to form a square. Fold into a half pyramid and tape it to another piece of paper. You will use the shadow of the point to make measurements. |
