Product Code : SCL-ALE-11946
Model of phases of Moon (SKU SCL-ALE-11946), also called the Phases of Moon Working Model, is an astronomy teaching aid that shows why the Moon appears to change shape when seen from Earth. It suits guided demonstrations on the Moon, reflected sunlight and orbital motion in school science, Earth science and general science lessons. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the model in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes it without intermediaries to schools, colleges, distributors and tender buyers.
Specifications
The phases-of-the-Moon working model is specified in the table below. In short, it is one demonstration model that relates the Moon's orbital position to the part of its sunlit half visible from Earth; the material, dimensions, mechanism and phase positions represented are confirmed on the quotation for your unit.

Applications and Experiments for the Phases of Moon Model
The model explains that the Moon never changes shape: the Sun always lights half of it, and observers on Earth see different portions of that lit half as it orbits. Starting from one Moon position and moving through the others, students can name each phase and explain why it appears.
- Middle-school science: the Moon, its phases and reflected light, with the Sun's role introduced through the Sun Model.
- Sequencing the eight commonly recognised phases, from new moon through first quarter and full moon to waning crescent.
- Earth and space science: linking the lunar cycle to Earth's own orbit, continued with the Four Seasons Appratus.
- School exhibitions and teacher-led demonstrations.
Operate moving parts gently, and remember the model is not solar-viewing equipment; never look directly at the Sun.
Standard Scope of Supply
The supply consists of one Model of phases of Moon, made at the Ambala factory. The quotation states its material, size and mechanism and which phase positions the unit represents, so the model can be matched to the phases your syllabus teaches; extra astronomy models can be added on request.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes are prepared for a single phases model or for a batch for several classrooms. Each quote sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and as a school science kit supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies can put companion astronomy models on the same quote.
Backed by an Importer-Exporter Code, the company is able to ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. To price lunar models, use the contact page, gather items in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page when buying through a tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Moon appear to change shape?
The Moon itself does not change shape. The Sun lights half of it at all times, and as the Moon moves along its orbit, observers on Earth see a changing share of that lit half, which produces the phases.
Does the model show all eight phases?
The eight commonly recognised phases run from new moon to waning crescent. The phase positions represented on the model you order are stated on the quotation, so check them against your lesson plan before ordering.
How should the model be maintained?
Wipe off dust with a soft, dry cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and never force any moving part. Store the model in a dry place away from knocks and moisture, and check it for loose parts before each class.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Production of this lunar-phase model takes place in Science Lab Supplies' own factory in Saha, Ambala, India. Because the firm manufactures it, buyers receive the quotation, packing and dispatch arrangements directly from the source.
