This interdisciplinary Digi Kit presented by the American Association of Physics Teachers blends physics, geometry, and astronomy as students build and use a physical model to explore eclipse events as seen from Earth. Learners will configure the model to mimic the perfect Earth/Moon alignment that takes place during a total solar eclipse and compare relative proportions of the size of the shadow produced by their model to a NASA video of the shadow crossing Earth during a real solar eclipse.
