Grade 8 Planetarium Visit Agenda

During your visit to the planetarium, we will answer several questions:

1. Why does the Moon go through a cycle of phases?
2. How can a "Moon Phaser" be used to determine the current Moon phase, including the approximate time of moonrise and moonset?
3. Why are solar and lunar eclipses so rare?
4. What causes ocean tides (on Earth)?
5. What causes the change of seasons (on Earth)?
6. What is currently visible in the night sky?
