Three students can recreate the phases of the Moon. One student, who represents the Sun, should hold a flashlight so that it is stable. Make sure the light shines on both of the other students, who represent the Earth and the Moon.
By moving the Moon student around the Earth student, recreate each of the lunar phases. Were there any surprises?
