Every night for about a month, go outside and look at the moon. Then go inside and draw how the moon looks on one of the squares on this chart. Don’t worry if you miss a night; just keep going the next night. And don’t worry if there are clouds in the sky some nights and you can’t see the moon; just draw the clouds on those nights. If the moon hasn’t risen by the time you go to bed, ask your mom or dad to draw a picture for you.

At the end of a month or so, you’ll have seen how the moon looks different each night, and you’ll have a chart of all the moon’s phases!
