"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: A Kid-Friendly Guide"
The upcoming 2024 total solar eclipse presents a great opportunity to engage kids in space and science. To explain the solar eclipse to children, use simple terms and interactive models, show the eclipse path using NASA's map, make pinhole viewers, shop for safe eclipse glasses, and create sun prints. Emphasize the rarity of the event to get kids excited, as the next total solar eclipse visible in North America won't occur until 2044.
