Description
Class Experience
To understand what a Lunar Eclipse is.
Ph. D. in Astrophysics - Astrophysics/Astronomy Communicator/Educator/Adjunct at the San Diego University volunteering on a number of community projects that promote a mindful STEAM curriculum. I also homeschool my three children, and I am personally active internationally offering workshops to both children, adults and teachers.
Learners are encouraged to create the Earth-Moon scale model to simulate the eclipse.
The materials are optional, but I highly recommend they create their own scale model after class: - 1 ball 4cm in diameter (1.6 in) - 1 ball 1cm in diameter (0.4 in) - 1 stick of 120 cm in length (47 in) More details will be given in the classroom after enrollment.
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
If the students make the Earth-Moon model, they might need the support of a grown up.
