While learning about the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun, we also studied the phases of the Moon. To allow the students to have a better visual, I had donations of Oreos brought in to conduct an experiment. I separated the students into small groups (so that each student may have an opportunity to be involved) and gave the students 8 Oreos each. With those 8 Oreos, the students had to separate the sandwich and scrap off the correct amount of icing to replicate the correct moon phases.
They had so much fun and really had a chance to understand what the Moon looks like during each phase! Great activity!
