What is the easiest way to learn the phases of the moon? Is there an easy way? Well....you could grab a bag of Oreo's and eat your way through the moon phases, quizzing yourself as you nibble... Too fattening? Maybe a bit unhealthy to eat that many cookies? Okay, how about a Moon Phase Dance? Alright, I agree that's a little weird... We could always go to "Mr. Lee's Phases of the Moon Song" on Youtube. Except you might go a little crazy...."phases of the moon, phases of the moon, phases of the moon".... The most common mnemonic used to remember the phases of the moon is “DOC.” Using this you can understand which part of the moon is lit up at different stages in the lunar cycle.
As long as you stay in the Northern Hemisphere, all of these tricks will work...if you decide to move to Australia or Antarctica, well, good luck!

Oreos are not only unhealthy they are expensive.

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
