Kingdom in Peril: Ep 2
Topics Covered
- Eclipses
Lesson Description
Save your kingdom from rebellion by decoding the cryptic letters left by attackers and explore why they are using the red moon as a signal for their revolt. Determine the likelihood of observing this red moon phenomena and share your eclipse knowledge with your kingdom before it descends into revolt!
Central Question: How does the size of the eclipse shadow affect the observable patterns of solar and lunar eclipses?
Instructional Objective: Explain predictable eclipse patterns using a model to discover and demonstrate the evidence of phenomena at different scales such as the Moon’s inclination (orbital plane) in combination with the position of the Sun, Earth, Moon system.
Learning Outcomes
-
Learning Outcome #1: Use a model to discover and explain the relationship between umbral diameter and likelihood of viewing an eclipse from Earth.
Prerequisites
