Things to Do

Invite the children to illustrate what they observe during the lunar eclipse. They may want to create a “lunar eclipse comic strip.”

Have the children create a myth or legend about why lunar eclipses occur. Share these stories and then explore the scientific explanation for why we have eclipses.
