Making the moon!

We are learning about the moon and I decided nothing can be more motivating than staring at a plate of oreos! We have been reading the Faces of the Moon. I wish I had known about this book when teaching 5th and 8th graders science.

Look at that smile. It's shocking!

We talked about why we aren't able to see the moon during the new moon phase and why we see the full moon. I know the pictures aren't in proportion, but we talked about that, too.

We drew the phases in her science journal when we were finished. It was a fun lesson!
