More Observations of the Moon

These are my moon observations that continue that I have been observing for the past couple weeks. I like that the weather is starting to warm up now so that the sky is a lot clearer at night. It looked like there was a full moon for two days straight, the 18th and the 19th. On the 20th-the 22nd, the moon was very clear and by the 24th, just about half the moon was showing.

While making moon observations over the past couple weeks, it is very interesting to see the changes that I've observed. It is important to know that you may get so many different results by observing the moon, mostly depending on what time you go outside. The moon's rotation could look different to so many different people, so who's to say that someone's observation is right or wrong? Learning about the moon is such a different experience for so many people and it would be very successful to do in the classroom so that student's can get a scientific experience first hand by creating it themselves.
