Students use data from the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse, to generate their own map of the U.S.A.'s eclipse visibility, including the Path of Totality.

Students do not need a background in isolines to complete the activity. Data compilation can be completed without background of Moon Phases and/or Eclipses.

Tasks:

- Identifying states based on Capital Cities;

- Applying color codes to percent visibility ranges in coordinating capital cities;

- Inferring bands of eclipse visibility ranges based on compiled data
(generating isolines);

- Responding to analysis questions (8):

- Finding percent,
- Interpreting data,

- Inferring cities able to see the eclipse,

- Identifying moon phase associated with Solar Eclipse.

Differentiation/Enrichment Possibilities:

- Discussing/reviewing isolines;

- Generating isolines that are accurately associated with the precise
percentages viewed (in stead of general estimated ranges - data
included);

- Using included data to infer the definitions of key terms (i.e. umbra,
penumbra), as well as specific moon phase.
