Oreo Lab Directions
  1. Each group will receive only 8 Oreo cookies and a blank piece of paper.
  2. Draw and color your Earth in the center and Sun on the side.
  3. Separate your cookies carefully, so that ½ of the cookie has ALL of the frosting and the other ½ of the cookie has NO frosting.
  4. Use a popsicle stick to make a shape of the Moon phase with the Oreo that has the frosting. (the frosting represents the part of the moon that we can see).
Place the cookies in order on a white piece of paper and LABEL each phase correctly. Take a picture of your Oreo Moon Phases and insert it to show your work.

Set Up Your Oreo Moon Phases Like the picture below.
