Finn and Jake #8

Here is last night's picture of the moon.

1)  What phase is it in?

2)  Write down 3 words that rhyme with phase.  (Example:  mayonnaise)

3)  If one lunar cycle takes 4 weeks.  How many lunar cycles are there in a year?

4)  If the distance from Earth to the Moon is 382,500 kilometers (km), how many meters does that equal?  (1 km = 1000 m)  (Hint:  use division, and move your decimal point by the number of zeros in 1000 m).

5)  Watch the Apollo 11 land on the moon in this short clip.  You get to see what they saw.  NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  It is a U.S. agency.
Click on the picture of the moon to view the video.  Please turn up your volume.
