Elijah's Science Fair Project

Elijah wanted to study about the moon!  He learned lots of neat stuff about the moon and especially loved making moon phases out of oreo cookies!  


Elijah's presentation:

The moon is a satellite that circles earth.  The moon is about 4 times smaller than the earth.  If this apple is the earth, then the moon is as small as this ball.
 
If you went to the moon, you’d find many different things.  One of those things is ice.  If you touched the ice, you would never get your hand off it.  It is always freezing cold on the moon or burning hot.  You would also find lots of big holes in the surface of the moon.  They are called craters.  The moon is bumpy and covered with dust.  There is no air or water on the moon.

The moon provides light for earth at night.  Sometimes the moon looks like the letter C.  This is called a crescent moon (point to oreo).  Sometimes it looks like a golf ball.  This is called a full moon (point to oreo).  Sometimes it looks like nothing.  This is called a new moon (point to the oreo).  You can’t see it because the sun is shining on the other side that we can’t see.   

In John 9:5, Jesus said, “I am the Light of the World.”  Just like the moon gets its light from the sun, we should get our light from Jesus, the Son of God.
