SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSE
A. What’s New
Sun gives off light. As the different members of the solar system move
around the sun, they block the light from the sun and form shadows. This means
that planets have shadows, even their moons have shadows too.
But we cannot see the shadows that they form because we are far from
them. The only shadows that we can observe are the shadows of the moon and
earth.
Eclipses are mainly the result of the motions of the earth and moon
through space. An eclipse takes place when one heavenly body such as a moon or
planet moves into the shadow of another heavenly body.
There are two types of eclipses on Earth: the Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse.

B. What Is It
Lunar Eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Moon and the
Sun. This generally happens during full moon phase and it can be observed
almost everywhere on earth. A lunar eclipse can also last for few hours.
When the Moon crosses the path between the Earth and the Sun and
blocks the sun, a Solar Eclipse occurs. This only happens during the new moon
phase. The new moon doesn’t seem like the moon in the sky. The new moon looks
like that because the sun is behind it and not in front. Solar eclipse can occur
partially or complete.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon actually casts two shadows toward Earth.
One shadow is called the umbra which becomes smaller as it reaches the Earth.
This is the dark center of the Moon's shadow. The second shadow is called the
penumbra.

C. Learning Activities
ACTIVITY 1.
Title: Are there shadows in space?
Objective :
After performing this activity, you should be able to explain how shadows are
formed in space.
What to use?
1 big ball (plastic or Styrofoam ball)
1 small ball (diameter must be about ¼ of the big ball)
flashlight or other light source
2 pieces barbecue stick (about one ruler long)
any white paper or cardboard larger than the big ball
Styrofoam block or block of wood as a base
What to do?
Note: All throughout the activity,stay at the back or at the side of the
flashlight as much as possible.After steps done,answer the questions.
STEPS:
1. Pierce the small ball in the middle with the barbecue stick.
Then push the stick into a Styrofoam block to make it stand. The small ball
represents the Moon. Do the same to the big ball. The big ball represents the
Earth.

2. Hold the flashlight and shine it on the small ball (see the drawing below).
The distance between the flashlight and the ball is one footstep. Observe the
small ball as you shine light on it. The flashlight represents the Sun.
Q1. What is formed on the other side of the Moon?
3. Place the Earth one footstep away from the Moon (see the drawing below).
Make sure that the Sun, Moon, and Earth are along a straight line. Turn on
the flashlight and observe.
Q2. What is formed on the surface of the Earth?
