Based on the pattern observed, we can assume that the same thing will happen again for the following nights. A pattern is something that repeats and is predictable so we can use it to make the best guess or what will happen next.

We can what will happen next when we follow the order of a pattern. For example, I know the Moon will rise in the East because it happens every night.

We can make predictions based on patterns. When something happens every night (like the Moon rising in the East), we can make the best guess or a prediction that the same thing will happen again the next night.

When observing the Sun, patterns can be noticed. The Sun appears to move through the sky during the day, but it is the Earth moving that makes it seem this way. The Sun always rises in the East and sets in the West. This is a pattern we can observe every day.

Stars can only be seen during the nighttime. This is a pattern that can be observed each night. During the days the stars are not visible but when the Sun sets we can see the stars shining.

Tap to reveal answer
The patterns of motion that can be observed are the changes in position. The Sun and Moon both rise in the East and set in the West every day. The Earth is also continually rotating, so the objects in the sky appear to be moving.

Every month the Moon appears to change shape, but it is just the moon phases. The shadows on the Moon change throughout the month based on how much sunlight there is shining on the Moon's surface. This is a pattern that can be predicted because it repeats every month.

A pattern is something that can be observed happening over and over again. It is something that repeats the same way again and again. Patterns can be seen in nature, science, math, and everyday life!

Tap to reveal answer
The shape of the Moon does appear to change over a month in a predictable pattern. We call these moon phases. The Moon may appear to be full, only partly shown, or there may be no moon visible at all. This is because of the amount of sunlight shining on the Moon during that time of the month.

The Moon follows a predictable pattern over a month called the moon phases. Depending on how much sunlight is shining on the Moon, it will appear to change sizes.
