The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse takes place on a Monday when schools will be in session, ranging from early to late afternoon (1:40 pm CDT totality in Dallas, Texas, to 3:32 pm EDT in Caribou, Maine). Prevent Blindness is offering a number of resources to help students and teachers make the most of this unique event.
The Prevent Blindness "Eye Learn About Vision Health and Protection: Your Eyes and the Eclipse" lesson plan follows the most up-to-date National Health Education Standards Performance Indicators for Pre-K to 2nd grade. This lesson is intended for use with children aged 3 to 5 years old. The eclipse lesson and the "Between the Sun and the Earth" children's book are available free for download in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.
