Sophia: Bill Nye: Baseball Moon

Curated by ACT

Bill Nye explains the phases of the moon with an experiment using a baseball, a lamp on a table, a dark room, and a stool or chair that swivels. As the person moves around, the changes in reflected light show the phases of the moon. The experiment is available in a PDF for easy printing.
