Oreo Moon Phases
•The students will be able to describe and demonstrate the motions of the sun and moon.
•The students will be able to describe how the moon moves around the Earth, and how long it takes.
•The students will be able to explain why the moon changes shape, and identify the phases of the moon.
•The students will recognize that the revolution of the Earth around the Sun produces the seasons and how much light we see depends on the positions of the Earth, moon, and sun.
