[nobe-l] Looking for Suggestions: Moon Project for Next Year's BELL Program

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi all!
 Do you mean, Orieo cookies? That’s one way to show the phases of the moon. I didn’t think of using Orieo cookies. I’d probably use the regular ones because of the visual colors because the inside is white like the moon and the outside is black like outerspace. I also have an swell form picture of the quorter moon that I got at Youth SLAM in 2007 when I attended it in Baltimore, Maryland. I can also bring that as well to show the kids what swell form printing is all about. When I first touched swell form pictures at Youth SLAM, I didn’t let the teachers of the star party where I touched them hear the end of my questions about it until they told me that they’d explain all about it at the end of the party. I don’t know if those moon globes at our closest science musium shows the craters on the moon but if not, does anyone have ideas on how to show off the lunar craters?


Thank you for taking the time to read this Email!

Hi Tina,

I like using Oreos to teach the phases of the moon. We remove parts of the filling to represent each of the phases. It also makes a nice snack afterwords and all of my students absolutely love the activity. Good luck and fun theme!
