Solar Eclipse 2024 Project Based Learning Activity For 3rd, 4th, and 5th STEM
What educators are saying
Description
This PBL activity is perfect for the next Solar Eclipse! Your students will learn about and apply research skills, writing skill, science skills and more during this PBL. It includes text about solar eclipses and 5-10 days of activities. One STEM activity included (building a solar eclipse viewer).
I suggest allowing for at least 5 days to complete this project-based learning activity.
