2015 Solar Eclipse




Activity 1: Solar Eclipse Demonstration

Supplies:
- Globe
- Tennis Ball
- Flashlight

Shine the flashlight on the globe to demonstrate how when half the world is lit during the day, the other half is lit and it’s night. Then use the tennis ball to demonstrate how the moon rotates around the earth. Continue to shine the flashlight and maneuver the ball in such a way that it blocks the light and creates an eclipse.
