Peter drew this model to represent the reason for shorter days in Georgia and said, "Georgia is on the side of the Earth away from the sun, so it doesn't get much daylight." Is his model and reasoning correct?

• Yes. Peter's model and reasoning are correct.

• Peter's model is correct, but his reasoning is wrong.

• Peter's model is incorrect, but his reasoning is correct.

• No. Peter's model and reasoning are incorrect.

What change can be made to the model to make it better?

• The Earth should be removed since it has no relationship to the phases of the moon.

• The order of the arrows should change.

• A Sun should be added to show how the moon is illuminated from it.

• The full and new moon should swap places to show a shorter time between the phases.

How should this model be changed to be more accurate?

• The full moon should be 1st, and the new moon should be last.

• It should show the phases in a circular flow chart

• The Sun should be included as Step 9

• The phases should be reorganized from top to bottom
