Who would have thought - Oreo Cookies represent the Phases of the Moon! In Mrs. Hanson's class, Grade 6 explored the moon's phases to understand how the moon, Earth, and Sun interact. After studying the moon's phases and how it changes as it circles the Earth on its 29.5-day rotation, students were given 8 Oreo cookies to create a visual representation. Most importantly, they were able to EAT them!!!
