One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!

Did you know that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first people to walk on the moon?  In room 28, we have been learning about challenges faced by astronauts and why astronauts go into space.  We all think it would be fun to experience life without gravity! 



We have also been learning all about the moon.  We know that the moon is a natural satellite which orbits Earth.  We also know that sometimes the moon looks like it changes shape, but it doesn't.  We can only see the part of the moon that the sun is shining on and that changes throughout the month.  This is called the phases of the moon.  We made the phases on the moon out of Oreo cookies.  It was fun, educational and delicious!




Yummy!


We worked together in small groups to make the phases of the moon with the cookies.  

We took turns and worked as a team.

We couldn't wait to eat our moons at the end! :D

End result!
Later, we also made charts to show the phases of the moon.
