In 2017, you can kick off your school year with a phenomenon-based exploration of motions in the solar system, as a solar eclipse occurs on August 21, 2017.
In this 1-hour webinar, you'll learn activities to engage your students in developing and using models to understand how eclipses happen.
Lessons in this workshop will follow student learning progressions and help you understand how to scaffold different concepts such as shadows, scale, and motion so that your students can engage in authentic learning experiences.

Due to the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, the Cobb County School District will delay dismissal of elementary, middle and high school students by 45 minutes.
The peak time to experience the solar eclipse falls during our regularly scheduled elementary school dismissal time. Since student safety is always our first priority we will start the day on time and delay dismissal to ensure that neither students nor employees are on the roadways during the time of the eclipse. Subsequently, high schools and middle schools will delay dismissal as well.
Schools will be provided with further guidance and instructional resources as appropriate. Parents are welcome to pick-up their child at the typical dismissal time if needed.
