EclipseEd: Illuminating Learning Paths for the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse

EclipseEd: Illuminating Learning Paths for the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse

Join CIRES Science Show & Share this April for a special webinar featuring Science on Sphere. In honor of the April 8th, 2024 total solar eclipse event, NOAA Science On a Sphere program has developed datasets showing cloud cover potential, eclipse paths, and a narrated movie describing the total eclipse phenomenon. In this workshop, we will dig deeper into the datasets and best practices for sharing them with your class, ways to incorporate art into your eclipse teaching, and lessons you can add to your unit using citizen science applications - Globe Observer and CrowdMag.

Additional Learning Resources

This webinar explored NOAA’s new eclipse-related datasets, covering cloud cover potential, eclipse paths, and an insightful movie explaining the total eclipse phenomenon. Hosted by Beth Russell and Hilary Peddicord, the session delved into ways of integrating these datasets in classrooms, adding art to eclipse education, and using citizen science tools like Globe Observer and CrowdMag in your units.
