Southern Hemisphere phases of the moon foldable sequencing activity cut and paste

Help your students recall the phases of the moon in the Southern Hemisphere in a hands-on way with this set of differentiated foldouts. The finished foldouts look great in an interactive science notebook and can be used to support learning about space, the solar system, and the Earth’s moon/lunar phases. Plus it’s a little different from a standard science worksheet!

This printable activity has 5 similar template options (including cut and paste) for you to choose from so that you can best match the needs of your pupils. All are for the Southern Hemisphere.

The templates

• Template 1: Colour the Moon and the Moon’s phases, cut, glue, and fold.

A set of colour flashcards showing each phase (2-to-a-page) is also included.
