Help your students recall the phases of the moon in a hands-on way with this set of differentiated foldouts. The finished foldouts look great in an interactive science notebook and can be used to support learning about space, the solar system, the Earth’s moon/lunar phases, or World Space Week. Plus it’s a little different to a standard cut-and-paste worksheet!
This listing is a digital download (PDF) for you to print the pages you require at home or school. It is in English and it is not editable.
