    The above chart shows how the Moon changes shape over a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Starting with a New Moon, the Moon becomes a waxing crescent, a half Moon (also known as a first quarter Moon), then a waxing gibbous (a fancy word for more than half, but less than full), then to a Full Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After that it goes through the same shapes, but in reverse, and with the shadow on the right side of the Moon instead of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From Full Moon, it becomes a waning gibbous, a half Moon (also known as a last quarter Moon), a waning crescent, and back to where we started: a New Moon where the Moon is almost invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The cycle then repeats from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Below is a simplified version of the chart for use with the Moon Hats activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
