In this mini-lesson, students gain a deeper understanding of eclipses, learning why they occur and how often.
Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment. 1. How often do eclipses happen? 2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about eclipses?
Bonus Activity: Eclipses are special because they don’t happen every day. What have you seen in nature that is rare and special? Have you seen a rainbow? A shooting star? Have you found a strange rock, or seen an unusual animal? Make a list and draw the five most exciting things you’ve seen in nature. Then, keep watching the world around you. When you see more exciting and rare things, add them to your list!
