Answer:

New Moon - Crescent Moom ---- Full Moon ---- Waning Quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

The Moon revolves around the Earth in a 28 day period, which is approximately one Earth month, therefore S the student has been recording the movement of the Moon for 4 Earth weeks this is a period of complete revolution of the Moon .

Consequently you must register the following phases

New Moon - Crescent Moom ---- Full Moon ---- Waning Quarter

in the period where it begins, it must go through the cycle in an orderly way to the right.
