If you have looked into the night sky, you may have noticed the Moon appears to change shape each night. The different shapes of the Moon that we see at different times of the month are called the Moon’s phases. Watch as NASA astronaut Anne McClain displays each of these phases in the latest episode of STEMonstrations. Use the lesson plan that coincides with this video to invigorate your STEM classroom.
