This
program draws its content from the Science Mission Directorate's
Sun-Earth Forum. Students will learn about the natural phenomenon
that creates a total eclipse and the relative movement of
objects in our solar system. Students also will explore
the history, mythology, and current science surrounding
these amazing events. Using hands-on lessons, web-based
activities, and simple tools, students will measure and
approximate the angular size and distance of objects in
the sky. |
