In this activity, students will analyze past and future eclipse data and orbital models to determine why we don’t experience eclipses every month.
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses by plotting a few points on a piece of graph paper, and using quarters and a nickel to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
