Bring your pre-school children to immerse themselves in the story of Moonbear’s Shadow by Frank Asch. Using a Bear figure and a flashlight, we will recreate shadow scenes from the picture book and discover the three ingredients to a good shadow. Children will explore how the position of light affects the size, shape, and position of the shadow. We will then demonstrate how a total solar eclipse casts a shadow across the Earth and how those three ingredients are present on a cosmic scale when we experience an eclipse.
*Group visits by appointment only.
