Patterns of Apparent Motion (Mid)
Take a journey into space and learn how the motion of the Earth impacts our seasons, the way we see the moon, and how we measure time. You will begin this game in the learning phase, where you will watch different simulations of the Earth in space. In the mastering phase, you can manipulate the simulation to achieve different seasons and moon phases.

Ms. Rose and Lunar Phases!
In this game, your teacher is Ms. Rose and she will help you work through a series of mini-games to learn about lunar phases. You will learn about the moon's rotation, lunar phases, and tides, all of which are products of the moon orbiting Earth. Can you fill in the missing phase on a lunar calendar or label the tilt of the moon's orbit?
