This learning resource focuses on the identification and placement of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during both solar and lunar eclipses. Students will work with templates to glue the celestial bodies in their correct positions: the Moon between the Sun and Earth for a solar eclipse, and the Earth between the Sun and Moon for a lunar eclipse. Included are cut-out pieces representing each celestial body, allowing for hands-on engagement. The resource also features a 'Quick Check' section to assess understanding of eclipse mechanics, encouraging students to describe the impact of the Earth's position on sunlight during a lunar eclipse, as well as providing a true or false question about solar eclipses.
