So after collecting data for three months, students connected their three moon graphs to see some patterns emerge. What did students notice?
1. Where one month "leaves off" another month "picks up." This means that the moon cycle is a continuous flow.
2. The full moon reappears every 29-30 days, and we saw this as a peak in our graphs.
3. Since the full moon reappears every 29-30 days, we can make predictions about when the next full moon will be each month!
