Mrs. Rhodes’ and Mrs. Phillips’ first graders have been learning about moon phases in Science class. Students read several books and watched videos about why the moon has different phases. They did activities to show the phases including a moon demonstration where students were the earth and they rotated the moon around them while facing the sun “a lamp”. They were able to see the lighted portion of the moon which is the phases. Making moon phases with Playdoh was also a favorite activity.
