What is Moon Light?
Moonlight is the reflection of light from
the sun. Half of the moon is always in
Sunlight. From Earth we can only ever see
about 50% of the moon?

New Moon
The face of the moon facing earth
is completely in shadow because
the sun, the moon and earth are in
line.

Waxing Crescent
A horn shaped part of the moon
is illuminated.

First Quarter
• The first fourth of the Moon’s period of revolution around the Earth
![Page 9: Lunar Phases - NWACC - Faculty Web Pagesfaculty.nwacc.edu/EAST_original/Spring 2013/Introductio… · · 2013-05-08Moon Phase •Is the different shapes of the moon between the](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa5b1ec7f8b9afa758d9556/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Full Moon
• The moon when it is visible as a fully illuminated disk.
![Page 10: Lunar Phases - NWACC - Faculty Web Pagesfaculty.nwacc.edu/EAST_original/Spring 2013/Introductio… · · 2013-05-08Moon Phase •Is the different shapes of the moon between the](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030419/5aa5b1ec7f8b9afa758d9556/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Waning Gibbous
• Becomes the “last quarter” or “third quarter” when the illuminated portion is exactly 50%, leading to the “waning crescent” with less than 50% and eventually a New Moon (totally darkened, as the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun).

Third Quarter
• The third phase of the moon in which the moon rises at midnight and goes down at noon. You can see it better if you actually wait till morning.

Waning Crescent
• The visible portion of the moon dwindles to a crescent and we get ready to start all over again.

Waxing Crescent
• The moon appears to be partly but less than one- half illuminated by direct sunlight.

Orbit
• The path that the moon follows around the Earth.

Oreo Activity Instructions:
Materials Needed:
9 single or double stuffed Oreos®
1 paper plate
Markers, Crayons, or Writing Utensils
Liquid Glue
A model of the activity (may share with your group)
Using what you learned about the phases of the moon create a paper plate Oreo model
using your Oreo’s to show these phases. Use the model provided by the teachers to help
guide you to create your own model.
1. Draw a circle in the center of your paper plate that is about golf ball size. You
may use the bottom of an object to trace it. Make this circle look like Earth!
2. Draw and color a half circle sun on the edge of the paper plate that doesn’t pass
the ridged area of the paper plate.
3. Carefully twist and pull apart your Oreo’s so that one side of the Oreo has the
white filling on it. Set the non-crème sided half aside.
4. After all 9 Oreo’s are pulled apart begin shaping the crème to look like each lunar
phase.
New Moon- No cream on the Oreo
Waxing Crescent- ¼ cream on the Oreo (remove ¾ of the cream)
First Quarter- ½ cream on the Oreo (remove ½ of the cream)
Waxing Gibbous- ¾ cream on the Oreo (remove ¼ of the cream)
Full moon-Leave all the cream on the Oreo
Waning Gibbous-¾ cream on the Oreo (remove ¼ of the cream)
Third Quarter- ½ cream on the Oreo (remove ½ of the cream)
Waning Crescent- ¼ cream on the Oreo (remove ¾ of the cream)
5. After all 8 Oreos’ cream fillings are shaped into the correct moon phases, it is
time to place and glue them to your paper plate. Begin to place them in the order
listed above in a clockwise circle right inside the ridged edge of the paper plate.
After you have placed them in the right order, beside each “Oreo Moon” label the
correct moon phase that matches with the moon.
Clockwise is this direction:
