solar eclipse sequencing

This set will help you teach your students and children about the great American Eclipse on August 21, 2017. 


This solar eclipse resource contains 5 printable solar eclipse posters that illustrate First Contact, Second Contact, Totality, Third Contact, and Fourth Contact. 

There is also a safety poster for the eclipse viewing that tells students not to look directly into the sun. Next, your students are ready to work on their eclipse sequencing strip craft. 

You can make a solar eclipse bulletin board with the posters and solar eclipse sequencing strips crafts. The students will color and cut out the solar eclipse glasses image (these solar eclipse cutout glasses are NOT for viewing the eclipse). Encourage students to be creative with their designs. I also have two color versions of the glasses image. Then they will color the eclipse sequencing strips and paste them in order. This solar eclipse 2017 activity craft will work well in your science centers. You can find this product {HERE}
