Bring the night sky to life! The Lunar Cycle project has students illustrate the eight phases of the moon in sequence on a ScienceWear T-shirt or apron, creating a wearable model of Earth's most visible natural cycle.
The finished project gives students a memorable visual reference they can wear, use for moon-phase review, and take home as a keepsake from their Earth science unit.
Students learn the eight phases of the moon, complete a planning sheet, and illustrate the lunar cycle in order on a ScienceWear T-shirt or apron using fabric markers. The project combines astronomy content with creativity and hands-on learning.
