Lunar & Solar Eclipses. The moon's orbit around Earth is slightly tilted with respect to the orbit around the sun. As a result, the moon travels above.

Main IdeaDetails Eclipses. Eclipse- When the moon’s shadow hits Earth -or- the Earth’s shadow hits the moon.

 Occur when the moon’s shadow hits Earth or Earth’s shadow hits the moon.  Only occurs when the Earth, moon, and sun are lined up exactly.

Watch the video below. Identify the phenomena and why it occurs.

Eclipses

What is an eclipse? Why do we not have an eclipse every month? Activating Strategy: What is an eclipse? Why do we not have an eclipse every month? Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should pose the questions to the class. The teacher may opt to have students discuss the questions with a partner. An eclipse is the total or partial blocking of light of one object by another object. We do not have solar and lunar eclipses every month because the Earth’s orbit around the sun is not in the same plane as the moon’s orbit around the Earth. Do not spend more than 2-3 minutes on the activating strategy. If students are struggling with the answers, let them know that by the end of the lesson, they should have a better understanding of eclipses and move into the lesson.

Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should use the diagrams to demonstrate that the Earth’s orbit plane is different from the moon’s orbit plane; therefore, the moon is not always in the position to cause eclipses.

Use the Eclipse Notes Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should give each student an Eclipse Notes sheet and instruct the students to use the Notes sheet to record important information throughout the lesson.

There are two types of Eclipses: Solar Eclipse Lunar Eclipse Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should start off by reading the statement “there are two types of eclipses”. Ask the class or call on students to identify the two types of eclipses. Once students have responded, click to reveal the two eclipses.

Solar Eclipse When its orbit around Earth takes the Moon directly between Earth and the Sun, the Moon blocks our view of the Sun in what we call a solar eclipse. In short, the moon passes between the Earth and Sun causing the Earth to pass through the Moon’s shadow. Depending on where you are on Earth, you may experience a total eclipse or a partial eclipse. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the characteristics of a solar eclipse on the slide while the students describe a solar eclipse on their notes.

Diagrams of a Solar Eclipse Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should use the diagrams to illustrate the position of the Earth, Sun, and Moon during a solar eclipse. Be sure to discuss how and why only parts of the Earth experience the total and partial solar eclipse.

Animations of a Solar Eclipse Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should show the animations of a solar eclipse to reinforce the concept.

In the space provided on your notes, draw a simple diagram showing the position of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse. Instructional Approach(s): Give the students a few minutes (no more than 2 minutes) to draw a simple diagram showing the position of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse. The students may start out with just the positions shown. After a few minutes, click to show the simple diagram on the slide. You may want students to go back and illustrate the shadow part too.
