Each of the 29 questions requires students to READ, ANALYZE and THINK – there is NO vocabulary, NO matching, NO fill in the blank, etc. Most questions include diagrams. This document helps to prepare students for state standardized tests because it provides diagrams that show moon phases and eclipses from different angles – all of which they might see on an exam.
