Jessica and Kendall were looking up at the moon and she noticed it looked like the picture shown below. For a whole week they observed the moon changing in the sky. They wondered if the moon was changing its shape. Why does the moon appear to change shape?

• More of the moon gets hidden behind a cloud so you see different amounts of the moon

• As the earth rotates, the sun reflects off different amounts of the moon causing it to change shape.

• The moon changes shape because it gets darker as the month goes but no one knows why.
