KNOW YOUR STUDENT’S MISCONCEPTIONS:

They will probably think that the black/dark circle is a shadow on the sun. Lead them by asking questions like “Is it a shadow on the sun? Why can’t we see the sun? What do you think Earth looks like during an eclipse? What do you think the moon looks like during a solar eclipse?” Try not to give them the answers.
