    Eclipse Lesson Plan

    Uploaded by

    Romeo Gabitanan Jr
    The lesson plan compares and contrasts solar and lunar eclipses through hands-on modeling. Students will be placed into groups to use materials like Tootsie Pops, Dum Dum lollipops, black construction paper, and flashlights to model the positioning of the sun, moon, and Earth during both types of eclipses. They will observe and record the shadows cast during their demonstrations. The teacher will assess understanding through observation of the activity and an accompanying activity sheet.

    Solar and Lunar Eclipse Lesson Plan

    Teacher Date
    School SLE # ESS.10.6.8: Compare and contrast
    solar eclipse and lunar eclipse
    Objectives:
    Content: I will be able to compare and contrast solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.
    I will be able to model a solar eclipse.
    I will be able to model a lunar eclipse.

    Language: I will be able to use the vocabulary words rotate, revolve, orbit, solar eclipse, and lunar eclipse while
    working with my group.

    Assessment: Teacher will be able to assess students throughout the activity and also through
    the use of an activity sheet.

    Technology/Materials: Tootsie Pops (1 per student), Coconut Flavored Dum Dum lollipops (1
    per student), black construction paper, binder clips (to help hold construction paper up),
    flashlight (1 per group)
    Vocabulary: rotate, revolve, orbit, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse
    Bloom’s: Remembering Understanding  Applying Analyzing Evaluation Creating
    Questions: What are the two types of eclipses? How are they similar? How are they different?
    Describe the positioning of the sun, moon, and earth during a solar eclipse. Describe the
    positioning of the sun, moon, and earth during a lunar eclipse. Predict what would happen to
    the shadows if you were to move the sun further away from the Earth and moon. Predict what
    would happen to the shadows if you were to move the sun closer to the Earth and the moon.
    High Yield Strategies: Identifying similarities & Differences Summarizing & Note Taking  Cooperative Learning
    Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition Setting Objectives & Providing Feedback Generating & Testing Hypotheses
    Cues, Questions & Advanced Organizers Homework & Practice Nonlinguistic Representations

    Instructional Strategies:
    Set: Activate prior knowledge by asking question listed above. Show United Streaming
    video: "The Spacefiles: The Inner Solar System: Eclipses and Auroras".

    Model: Show students how to use flashlight and different sized playground balls to model
    eclipse.

    Guided Practice/Strategies: Put students into groups of 2 or 3. Show the students the
    materials for their exploration and explain how they will be creating a model of the two eclipses.
    Allow for the students to use the materials to model eclipses projecting the shadows onto the
    different lollipops. Have the students set up the black paper as a backdrop to absorb excess
    light. This will allow for more darkness in the room.

    Intervention Strategies: Remodel use of materials as needed. Walk throughout the room to facilitate
    learning.
    Accommodations & Modifications (IEPs): Allow students to show or draw their results. Group
    students as needed.

    Independent Practice/Activities: Students will be able to use the materials to explore


    creating a model of lunar and solar eclipses. Students will then complete an activity sheet.

    Enrichment Activities:

    Closure: Students will write in their journal or draw the position of the materials in order to
    create the different eclipses. Students can write about what they observed during the activity.

    Homework: None
