I’m glad you mentioned the moon in the daytime thing – a lot of adults still think of it as opposite the sun, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the moon being visible at different times of the day/night and looking at how it changes.
Mahesh Rathi May 30, 2011 at 6:38 am: The myth of the Moon Gazing Hare reflects ancient beliefs. Pagans believed that seeing a moon gazing hare would bring growth, re-birth, abundance, new-beginnings and good fortune. The hare is known to be sacred to the goddess Eostre and eventually became known as the Easter bunny. At Easter we eat Hot-Cross-Buns, the cross on the bun is said to represent the four quarters of the moon, these buns were originally pagan offerings and were often hung from rafters to scare off evil that lurked in houses.

I like what you suggest about using a torch and a ball to investigate the phases of the moon. I am going to have that activity with the kids.
