Ms. Hamrick’s 6th grade science classes explored the fascinating phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses by creating hands-on models. Using globes to represent Earth, styrofoam balls for the Moon, and flashlights as the Sun, students demonstrated how the alignment of these celestial bodies causes eclipses. This interactive activity helped them visualize the positions and shadows involved, making complex concepts easier to understand and fun to learn.
