**[Construction Project]{.underline}:** Mosaic pictures to 'Take a Trek'
across the surface! [Supplies]{.underline}: Scissors, tape, printouts of
following pages.

[Procedure]{.underline}: Cut out each Moon picture. Study the features
and find the ones that are the same in two pictures. Overlay the
pictures and tape together. Keep adding more pictures to create a strip
across the Moon from one side to the other.

**[Observing Project]{.underline}:** Watch for the Moon day and night.
Record and sketch what you see. Use your eyes, binoculars or a
telescope.

**[Image Processing Project]{.underline}:** Use a computer and image
processing software such as [Makali'i](http://makalii.mtk.nao.ac.jp/),
[HOU](http://handsonuniverse.org/), [Salsa
J](http://www.euhou.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=145&Itemid=49),
[MicroObservatory](http://mo-www.harvard.edu/MicroObservatory/), or
[MIRA AL](http://www.mirametrics.com/mira_al.htm), etc. to manipulate
these images to show the details in each image your own way. Print and
tape together; display on a poster; label the features. Study other
images of the moon found in the HOU database to see how these features
look in other phases.

**[Research Project]{.underline}** Print this first page, check out
library books and/or use a computer connected to the internet.
