Use a digital camera or series of sketchesto capture, in snap shots, the motion of an object of your choice…
You might select….A falling leaf, a flying airplane, an erupting volcano, a wriggling worm, a shooting star, a lunar eclipse, a racing car, a rolling bowling ball, a ripple in the lake…
Then, write about….
Name______________________Day/Date ______________Place _________________Time __________________Weather (temperature, cloud cover, wind direction)_______________________Object _________________
Be sure to include the…
First Impressions (describe the object you are observing and be sure to include details—measurement / numbers estimates,)
Movement Observations (the object’s movement,)
Why Ideas(describe why you think this object is moving this way and not some other way,)
Prediction Structure to Function Ideas (describe what might happen to the object’s movement if you could change something about the object—shape, mass etc)
Prediction Forces ideas(write and or sketch what might happen to the object’s movement if you could change the forces acting on the object,)

A total eclipse of the Moon occurred the weekend of
Nov. 8-9, 2003.
A Lunar Eclipse (eclipse of the Moon) happens at Full Moon.
The Moon orbits Earth about once every 29 ½ days.
Lunar eclipses happen when the Moon
passes through the shadow of the Earth.
About two to four times each year, the Moon passes through some portion
of the Earth's shadows (penumbral or umbral) and one of three types of eclipses occurs.
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks all
direct sunlight from the Moon.
The Moon has no light of its own, but shines by sunlight reflected
from its surface.
Just about 35% of lunar eclipses are total eclipses—
and are totally awesome to watch!

Trading Spaces Question
FYI: Lunar eclipses are safe to watch—unlike solar eclipses.
Imagine that you are an astronaut on the moon November 8th and 9th 2003. If you are “looking at planet earth,” what would you see?
Should you be “looking back” at planet earth? Support your reasoning.
