The motions of Earth and the Moon cause the Moon's phases, eclipses and the slow turn of a Foucault pendulum. There are 4 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Why a Lunar Month Is Longer Than an Orbit compares 27.3 and 29.5 days, Eclipse Seasons on a Yearly Timeline places four 2025 eclipses from NASA dates, and Why Eclipses Skip Most New Moons explains the 5 degree tilt.
