Can you name the phases of the moon?  Do you know what causes a lunar eclipse or where the name "blood moon" comes from?  What about a "blue moon"?  In this JAM, we will explore how and why our moon appears the way it does from Earth when we have an eclipse...including why we don't have them every month.  We will conduct experiments using rocks, flour, and mashed potatoes to see how craters form.  Using models, we will also demonstrate phases of the moon and learn how to figure out which phase the moon is in on any given week of the month!  

PLEASE NOTE:

• We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

• Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

• Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
