Today we learned about the phases of the moon. We used Oreos to illustrate the waxing and waning phases of the moon. We learned that waxing means that the moon is getting larger, and waning means that the moon is getting smaller. We also learned that the moon really doesn't glow, it's just the suns reflection that makes it bright!
As the students scraped the icing from each cookie to form the correct moon phase, they were told they could eat the icing they scraped off. Some students chose to make an icing ball so they could eat it all at the very end.
After we finished illustrating the phases of the moon the students were allowed to enjoy their Oreos. I overheard some saying, "Science tastes good!"
