In this lesson students will calculate the size to distance ratio of the Sun and the Moon from Earth to determine how a solar eclipse can occur.

Learners will build a 2D model of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Spacecraft model. 

In this activity learners examine the difference between aurora and airglow, while learning about NASA’s ICON Mission.

The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.

Using a “fun-size” bag of rainbow bite-sized candies learners will place different colored candies on a diagram of the Sun-Earth system to show different space weather conditions during solar minimum and solar maximum.
