Event Details

The Earth isn’t the only planet keeping our sun company!

This presentation will use a digital globe and movement activities to journey out to our sun and its planets.  We’ll also see how solar and lunar eclipses happen, and we’ll pay particular attention to partial, annular, and total solar eclipses.
 In addition, we’ll explore the behaviors of plants and animals during eclipses. As the light darkens, the changes in nature are very pronounced!
