Materials Poster board with Ping-Pong balls with the colors half filled
in. Oreos (and gluten free ones for me). Activity sheet. Hand
sanitation
Safety and Class Does anyone have any allergies to food? Make sure that they
Management Issues use hand sanitation to have their hands washed.
Explore Demonstrate using the poster board. Will have a student use
it while everyone is working on the Oreo lab. Will bring the
poster board around so that they can work on it and have
time to individually do it.
The Oreo lab of looking at the phases of the moon. Ask the
class, what side of the Earth is in the day, what side is in
night? The sun sets in the BLANK and rises in the BLANK-
so if the East side is lit up then it is like would be us in the
morning time.
Give them the poster board to explore the concepts by
allowing their head to be the earth.
Elaborate After I talk for a little after the Oreo lab, I will have them
draw the phases of the moon to apply what they are doing
and elaborate by seeing if they can do it by themselves. Also
ask them about the phases of the moon on other planets,
would it be any different?
Formative Seeing if they are able to actually draw the phases of the
moon
Summative None for now- The test could be though to draw this graph on
the test.
Directions:
Work with your table partner. On a separate sheet of paper, draw Earth and the
Sun with the Suns Rays. Then using 2 Oreos try to arrange them to represent the
different phases of the moon. Yes you may eat them at the end of the class so
dont drop them on the floor.
Hints:
You may want to start with placing the Full Moon and New Moon then
first quarter than last quarter.
You only get 2 Oreos so be smart about how you use them. Think about
what are opposite phases of the moon that would create a whole
moon/Oreo. Example Waxing crescent and waning gibbous
