Grade 1 Science Worksheet
Read the clue. Circle the moon that matches.
The moon looks like a half circle.
We cannot see the moon's bright side at all.
Only a thin curved piece of the moon is bright.
Half of the moon's face is bright.
The moon looks dark in the sky.
You can see the whole moon shining.
The moon looks like a big round ball.
The moon looks like a thin curved smile.
The moon does not make its own light. We see it because the sun lights part of it, and as the moon moves around the Earth we see more or less of the lit part. That is why the moon seems to change shape over about a month: a full moon is a bright circle, a half moon is a half circle, a crescent is a thin curve and a new moon is dark.
On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a short clue, such as Half of the moon's face is bright, and your child circles the picture of the moon that matches it from three or four moons. A sheet has all four moon shapes. Look at the real moon together tonight and say what shape it is.
NGSS standard: 1-ESS1-1
The clue says only a thin curved piece of the moon is bright. That is a crescent, so circle the thin curved moon.
Choosing the half moon for a crescent, or thinking the moon is really changing shape when we only see more or less of its lit side.
Think about how much of the moon is bright: all, half, a thin curve or none.
