Workshop takes place Thursday, February 20, 2025 3:30 - 5:00pm Pacific / 6:30 - 8pm Eastern.

This 90-minute workshop will help prepare you to engage your audiences and/or students in the wonder of the total lunar eclipse visible across North America the night of March 13-14.

Unlike a total solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse is observable over an entire hemisphere. As long as you can see the Moon, you can view a lunar eclipse. On the night of March 13-14, 2025, people across North America will have the chance to see a total lunar eclipse. This is a fantastic opportunity to have learners of all ages experience an astronomical phenomenon from the comfort of their own home. In this workshop, discover why a lunar eclipse takes place, and how modeling one is similar to doing so for a total solar eclipse. Learn about how to facilitate an investigation of the cause and pattern of lunar eclipses, and discover ways to involve your learners in experiencing and responding to this exquisite natural phenomenon.

This workshop takes place in one 1.5 hour live session.

Participants will gain the following through participation in the workshop:

Strategies we have found successful at engaging learners of all ages
Access to astronomy experts who will facilitate the workshop

A certificate of completion for participating in 2 clock hours of professional development.

Registration: Free
