NASA/JPL Education – Teachable Moment: Get Students Excited About Science With This Month's Total Solar Eclipse
 

Get Ready for Monday's Total Solar Eclipse

This Monday, Aug. 21, every state in the U.S. will have a chance to see one of the sky's most captivating shows, a solar eclipse. Some, in what's called the path of totality, will even get to see a total solar eclipse, where the moon completely covers the disk of the sun.

These lessons, activities and resources from NASA/JPL Edu will help you engage students in scientific observations and discovery before, during and after the eclipse. Plus find information on how solar eclipses work, how to safely view one in action and how to contribute to NASA science!
