Discover the magical world of the phases of the Moon and the fascinating solar and lunar eclipses with our workshop, specially designed for elementary school students.
This participatory experience will allow you to explore and understand these celestial phenomena in a fun and interactive way.
We will delve into the fascinating world of the Moon’s cycles and learn how the different phases occur, from the new Moon to the full Moon and everything in between using an Earth-Moon model.
We will discover how the relative measurements and distances between the Earth and the Moon play a key role in this celestial dance. We’ll also explore the phenomenon of synchronous rotation, which explains why we always see the same side of the Moon, as well as exciting supermoons.
We will delve into the mysterious game of light and shadows that give rise to eclipses. With the help of an Earth-Moon model, we will be able to closely observe the lunar phases and understand how these eclipses, both solar and lunar, occur.
We will not forget to talk about the next eclipses that will be visible from our home and how we can enjoy them. We will provide you with all the necessary information so as not to miss these unique astronomical events.
And as an exciting part of the workshop, we will build a Selenoscope. It is a simple device that will allow you to calculate the lunar phases for several years. In this way, you will be able to continue exploring and observing the Moon after the workshop.
Don’t miss out on this incredible celestial adventure filled with fun and learning. Join us in our Lunar Phases and Eclipses Workshop and let yourself be captivated by the wonder of the stars!
