Summary:
   Moon Phases is the different shape of the moon. Lunar revolution is moon move around the Earth. It takes 29.5 days. So everyday we see different shape of the moon in the sky. There are have 8 different shape of the moon. New moon is no moon, when we see nothing, it show black. Waxing is when the moon growing and getting bigger. Waxing crescent moon is less than half, it looks like a banana. First quarter moon is a half moon. Waxing gibbous moon is more than half is visible. Full moon is big and round moon. Waning is when the moon reducing and getting smaller. Waning gibbous moon is the moon decreasing but more than half is visible. Last quarter moon is a half moon. Waning crescent moon is decreasing and less then half is visible. Finally back to new moon,no moon. So Moon Phases are depend on the position of the Moon,Sun and Earth.


Critical question:
  How is earth affected by movement(revolution)?
Answer: It affected the earth because without it we can not have four season and will have same season at all the time. If without them, we can not have rotation that mean we don't have day and night. So this will change many different thing in the world.

Reflection:
1. I enjoyed most about this project is vocabulary because I can learn some new word that for the Earth Science.
2. I think the most challenging part is make the movie better because it needs to take more time to finish.
3. I learned new skills is how to make the movie better and take the picture and record the sound at the same time.
4.I want to improve my work is to do more work to let people easy to understand our topic about and use the simple word to explain our topic.
