 What I Need to Know

All planets which revolve around the Sun cast shadows into space. This casting
of shadow is known as eclipse. An eclipse is a phenomenon or event that involves
the partial or total shadowing of one celestial body to another. Two kinds of eclipse
that can be naturally observed on Earth are the solar and lunar eclipses. What are
these and when will they occur? You will find out as you go through this module.

This module contains two (2) lessons:

Lesson 1 - Solar Eclipse
Lesson 2 - Lunar Eclipse

After going through this module, you should be able to explain how solar and
lunar eclipses occur using models.

Specifically, you are expected to:

1. describe what happens during solar and lunar eclipses; and
2. create a 3D model of solar and lunar eclipses.

In going through this module, it is a must that you extend your patience in
understanding and analyzing what you are reading about the topic. Follow the
directions and/or instructions provided in the activities. Answer the entire given tests
and exercises carefully. Comply with the required activities provided.

Activity 2: Shadows in Space!

Directions: Follow the procedure and answer the given guide questions in your
Science activity notebook.
Materials:
 1 big ball (any ball available at home)
 1 small ball (diameter must be about ¼ of the big ball)
 Flashlight or other light source
 2 pcs. of barbecue stick (about one ruler long)
 Any white paper or cardboard larger than the big ball
 Block of wood as a base
Procedure:
Note: All throughout the activity, stay at the back or at the side
of the flashlight as much as possible.

1. Pierce the middle of the small ball with a barbecue stick. Then, push the stick into
a block of wood to let it stand as shown in Figure 2 below. The small ball represents
the Moon. Do the same to the big ball which represents the Earth.
2. Hold the flashlight and focus it on the small ball as shown in Figure 2 below. The
distance between the flashlight and the ball is one footstep. Observe the ball as you
light it. The flashlight represents the Sun.

3. Place the Earth one footstep away from the Moon as presented in Figure 3 below.
Make sure that the Sun, Moon, and the Earth are along the straight line. Turn on the
flashlight and observe.

Question 2. What is formed on the surface of the Earth?

4. Place the white paper one footstep away from the Earth as seen in Figure 4 below.
The white paper must be facing the Earth. Observe what is formed on the white
paper.

Question 4. What happens to the shadow of the Moon as you move it around the
Earth?
Question 5. Observe the appearance of the Moon. What is the effect of the shadow
of the Earth on the Moon as it reaches position X as presented in
Figure 5 above?

6
 What is It

Solar eclipse happens when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are aligned and
blocked the sunlight from reaching the Earth. It will only take place at the phase of the
new moon and will occur if the two ecliptic nodes meet. There are the two types of
solar eclipses: partial solar eclipse and the total solar eclipse.

A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon only partially covers the disk of
the Sun while a total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun,
as seen from Earth. Figure 6 illustrates solar eclipse.

Figure 6. The Moon’s shadow crosses the Earth’s surface during a solar eclipse.

Two distinct parts of the moon’s shadow during a solar eclipse:

1. Umbra – refers to the darkest part of the moon’s shadow formed on the Earth
where a total solar eclipse is seen

2. Penumbra – refers to the lighter part of the moon’s shadow formed on the
Earth where a partial solar eclipse is visible

Lunar Eclipse
2
What’s In

In the previous lesson, you have learned about how a solar eclipse happens
and its connection to the direct alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth. To
check your understanding before proceeding to the next topic, let’s have a short
activity!

Activity 1: Unscramble Me!

Directions: Rearrange the scrambled letters to form the correct word/s given the
statements as clues below. Write the answers in your Science activity
notebook.

TERM Statements (Clues)

1. ARSOL CELIESP It is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon is
located directly in between the Sun and Moon.
2. HSOWDA It is formed over Earth when the Moon blocks the light
from the Sun.
3. EWN NOMO It is the phase of the Moon when a solar eclipse occurs.
4. URBPEMNA It is the lighter region of the Moon’s shadow during a
solar eclipse.
5. TALIRAP ARSOL It is a type of solar eclipse where only a part of the Sun
CELIESP is blocked by the Moon as seen on Earth.

10
 What’s New

The direct alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth contributes to the
occurrence of a solar eclipse. How is it different from a lunar eclipse? What should be
the alignment of these bodies that would lead to the occurrence of a lunar eclipse?
Let’s find out as you perform the next activity!

Activity 2: Cover the Moon!

Directions: Perform the activity and answer the guide questions. Write the answers
in your Science activity notebook.

Materials:
o Two sheets of white paper/cardboard ᴑ stick
o Pencil ᴑ table
o A pair of scissors ᴑ plastic bottle
o Scotch tape ᴑ flashlight or any light
o Ruler source

Procedure:
1. Draw two circles on the first sheet of paper/ cardboard, the first circle should be four
times bigger than the second and cut them out using a pair of scissors.
2. After cutting them out, attach each of them
to a stick then tape it with a scotch tape
(see drawing on the right). Be careful in
using sharp objects. Moon model Earth model

11
Note: This activity should be done at night or in a dark space/area at home.
Throughout the activity, stay at the back or at the side of the flashlight as
much as possible.

3. As illustrated in Figure 7, make sure that the Earth model is approximately 18

inches from the flashlight (Sun) and 6 inches from the Moon model.

18 inches
6 inches

4. Ask someone to turn the flashlight (Sun) ON facing directly at the center of the Earth
model. Observe what happens.

Figure 8. The Sun Beaming its Light to the Earth

5. Move the Moon model along a circular path by walking around the Earth model as
shown below. Observe the shadow casted on the Moon model.

Figure 9. The Moon Moving on a Circular Path around the Earth

12
 Guide Questions:

Q1. What happened to the other side of the Earth model in the activity?
Q2. What is formed on the moon’s surface?
Q3. What is the effect of the earth’s shadow on the Moon as the Moon is found
directly behind the Earth?

What is It

When the Sun gives off light, the orbiting objects of the Solar System block the
light from it and produce a shadow as a result. The shadow is formed when the Sun,
the Earth, and the Moon are perfectly aligned. You can observe that the Earth forms
a shadow over the Moon when it blocks the light from the Sun which you have
observed in Activity 2.

A lunar eclipse is a natural phenomenon that can only happen in a full moon
phase and could last for a few hours during nighttime. Take note that although you get
to experience full moon once a month, it is rare to observe the Moon in perfect
alignment with the Earth because of its orbit. A lunar eclipse (Figure 10) only occurs
when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth making it directly in between
the Sun and the Moon.

(Adopted from the Science 7 Learner’s Material)

 Two distinct parts of the shadow created during a lunar eclipse:

a. Umbra – the darker inner region of the earth’s shadow where all the sunlight
is blocked out
b. Penumbra – the lighter outer region of the earth’s shadow where the sunlight
is partially covered

two types of lunar eclipse.
