Phases Of An Oreo Cookie











What do cookies have to do with our current unit study of the moon? PLENTY! Take a paper plate, 8 Oreos, 2 friends, a "blob" of icing, yellow highlighter, a black sharpie, and plastic knife----put them all together, and you've aptly illustrated the 8 PHASES OF THE MOON! You may be thinking, "Did the kids eat "the phases?" No, they did not. Rather, one of the friends took the model home to show their family and EVERYONE enjoyed two fresh Oreos.

Just in case you don't recall the 8 phases, here they are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
