Lesson Plan: Solar and Lunar Eclipses

This lesson plan aims to teach students the difference between solar and lunar eclipses and how they occur. Students will watch a video presentation about eclipses and make models using Styrofoam balls to demonstrate the phenomena. They will then compare and contrast solar and lunar eclipses using a Venn diagram and explain in their own words how each type of eclipse occurs. For homework, students must research and report on community beliefs and practices related to eclipses.

Styrofoam balls and art materials.

IV. Evaluation
 In a one (1) whole sheet of paper, the students will be asked to do
