In our Earth and Space topic in Science, we have been exploring the phases of the moon. To do this, we used Oreos and Jaffa cakes to create a tasty scientific model! We learned that:
- The moon doesn’t shine, it reflects the light from the sun.
- The shape of the moon changes depending on how much light we can see reflecting off the moon.
- Waxing means the moon is getting bigger and waning means the moon is getting smaller.
- A crescent is smaller than a ½ and a gibbous is larger than a ½.
