We completed our discussion today about the phases of the moon with a yummy activity. The children demonstrated their knowledge of the phases by using the yummy oreo filling to represent the lighted portion we see of the moon throughout its phases in the moon cycle. After completing the cycle, the students took the facts and wrote them into a paragraph while they enjoyed nibbling on an oreo or two. I had them put the rest of the oreos in a baggie and save them for later. :)
Here are some great examples of the phases of the moon!
However, one student didn't stop at the phases of the moon, he kept going with the whole solar system!
