At SparkPoint Innovations, we are so excited for the total solar eclipse taking place on August 21, 2017! We teach these concepts every day using our huge, inflatable earth model and scale sized moon to students across the country.

Our in-school field trip, Orbit Earth Expo, is aligned to state standards in grades K-8 in states across the country. Students and teachers alike love our huge, unforgettable teaching models that bring science to life. Students manipulate our models to figure out how solar and lunar eclipses happen, how often, and when! The program also covers such topics as moon rotation, seasons, phases of the moon, wind, patterns in the solar system, and more!
Our programs are affordable, usually around $3 per student, and cover more information that you could imagine in a single class period. Programs vary by students’ age and grade and are taught by certified, experienced teachers who gear the programs until it’s just right for your students.
