LEGO is helping teachers gear up for the solar eclipse next month!
On April 8, all of the continental U.S. will see a partial solar eclipse, with many people in 12 states witnessing a total solar eclipse. Ahead of the big event, LEGO Education is launching the LEGO Education Eclipse Collection, a set of hands-on activities teachers can use to get kids excited about the eclipse.
These activities include designing and engineering models to simulate the eclipse and mobile observatories using LEGO bricks, graphing the amount of darkness and light in a month, explaining what happens if a light source is blocked, observing the effect of light on objects in a dark space, and more.
Each activity comes with classroom slides that teachers can use to guide kids through the activities, including plenty of tips and inspiration for schools to use the eclipse as a learning experience.
Visit legoeducation.com/eclipse to download the free activities and resources. Teachers can find and share inspiration using #LEGOeduEclipse on social media channels.
