4-H Daily – Lunar Journal

A picture of the moon

The Moon is the most visible object in our night sky, and it’s even sometimes visible in daylight. Have you noticed the patterns of the different Moon shapes, or phases, you can see? Keeping a Moon Journal for a whole month is a great way to see those patterns and be able to predict the phase that will appear the next night and next week.

For this 4-H Daily, print out this Lunar Journal and fill out a box each night for a week. Then, identify and label the phase of the moon you saw each day (ie. waxing crescent) using this lunar phase guide.
