Go Outside on an Adventure: Moon Watch

Go Outside Every Night for a Month:

Go outside each night for the next 30 days and look up at the moon.

  • Can you see the moon? Is the night cloudy or is it clear?
  • If you can see the moon, take out your moon phase journal. You can download it below.
  • Write the date and time on the calendar.
  • Draw a picture of what the moon looks like. Is it a crescent moon? Is it a full moon?
  • After the month is over, look at your moon phase calendar. Do you notice any pattern in the shape of the moon?
