Even many adults do not realize that the moon is often visible in the daytime. The moon is visible sometime during the day for most of the month, except near new moon, and right at full moon. This is a good short project for the whole class since you take the children outside for a little while.

Why's the moon visible during the day? ... Sometimes, on a cloud-free day when the sun is especially bright, you'll see the moon during the day. The air has to be pretty clear in order for the moon to be visible in daylight. That means low humidity, and a lack of particulate matter, such as dust.

The answer to your question has two parts: why is the moon VISIBLE during the day, and why is it even ABOVE THE HORIZON during daylight hours. The answer to the first question is easy: you can see the moon even against the blue backdrop of the daytime sky, because the moon is very BRIGHT!
