  • Q8
    In an activity, students observe the Moon for 30 days and record what they see. Which statement correctly gives a logical reason why the Moon appears to change shape over the 30-day period?
    Question Image
    Only the lit part of the Moon is the part the Sun shines on each day.
    The Moon travels between Earth and the Sun every 30 days.
    Earth's axis is tilted, making the Moon appear to change as Earth revolves.
    Only the lit part of the Moon facing Earth can be seen as the Moon orbits Earth.

  • Q11
    Students create a model to show how the Sun appears to move across the sky during the day. They take all the materials outside & make sure the location receives sunlight throughout the day. Each hour they record their observations & make an X where the shadows falls. To get accurate results the model must sit in the same location & be lined up the same way hourly. The activity is repeated each month to check their markings for accuracy. What is the purpose in repeating the activity each month?
    Question Image
    To increase questionable results
    To decrease valid results
    To decrease accuracy of results
    To increase reliability of results
