A very cool telescopic view of the Total Lunar Eclipse!
This great video contains language appropriate for preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade students. It talks about what happens, what kinds there are, and even touches base on how it is not scary when it happens. PERFECT for our kiddos!
When you are trying to understand what an eclipse is, it is always fun to make this fun little craft. The kids will love spinning the moon around to cover the Earth. You can adjust the size of the black paper so the Moon goes directly over the sun for a total eclipse or between the Earth and the Sun. Click here to see more fun Eclipse Activities for Kindergarten.
This great video explains the difference between lunar and solar eclipses. It does say you don’t need special eyewear for a lunar eclipse, so be prepared to speak about that before going out to watch an eclipse.
Another great video! This explains the Lunar Eclipse perfectly. Super cool to see for sure!
These videos are great to pair with our Lunar Eclipse easy reader. We like to use simple sentences, make the concept easy to understand, and have matching fun pictures to color!
