Phases of the Moon!


We're finishing up our lesson on the solar system and the phases of the moon are the last chapter. For a hands on activity I bought generic Oreo cookies from Wal-Mart and gave each student 8 cookies (8 phases of the moon). While we talked about the phase of the moon from the textbook the kids got to bite off the parts of the top cookie to make it look like that phase of the moon. After the lesson I went around and checked everyone's phases to make sure they were correct and then they got to eat them for snack.
