Phases of the Moon With Oreos

Today we finished our study of night and day.  We answered many questions such as "What is the moon made of? and "Has anyone ever been to the moon?"  As a culminating activity, we duplicated the phases of the moon by scraping away the cream in Oreo cookies.   The children have been extremely engaged in this unit.  Several have expressed an interest in being an astronaut.   Here are some of the pictures of a waning moon, Oreo cookie style.
