Description
Explore the phases of the Moon with a fun, hands-on cookie activity that models the interactions between the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Students use chocolate sandwich cookies to create and label the eight lunar phases while learning how the Moon’s appearance changes from Earth. The activity includes a STEM explanation that helps students understand that moonlight comes from reflected sunlight and that the Moon does not actually change shape. A simple and engaging way to bring astronomy concepts to life through a creative model!
