Oreos & Phases of the Moon

Fifth graders learned about the phases of the moon.

They learned:

~that "waxing" means getting bigger,

~thatt "waning" means getting smaller,

~that there are eight phases of the moon: new moon - waxing crescent moon - waxing half moon - waxing gibbous moon - full moon - waning gibbous moon - waning half moon, waning crescent moon.

Some students created the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies.

Their creations are in the slideshow and below. Enjoy!
