🌕🌑 *Oreo Moon Phases Lab: 5th Graders Explore the Wonders of the Moon!* 🌑🌕
Our 5th graders had a blast today as they explored the phases of the moon using Oreos! They got to create and understand the different phases of the moon (new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon) by removing the creme of the Oreo and turning them into mini models. It was a fun and delicious way to bring science to life!
