Classify Moon phases — free printable Grade 4 Science worksheet

Teachers can use this worksheet during a space systems unit as a structured check for understanding after students have observed or charted Moon phases. Accurate classification of Moon phases builds the observational and model-based reasoning that characterizes Earth and space science at this level.
