Hi Darryl,
to IIS!
You've got some good ideas about the Sun and Moon. Yes, I do need to mention the bleeding obvious about cautioning the kids about looking directly at the sun, and NEVER through a telescope or binos that are not set up for this.
What age group are we talking about?
There are a few other things you can do too. One is to have the kids make a pin-hole projector for viewing the sun. I've used this to great effect during the last partial solar eclipse. The kids were amazed that this was so easily achievable. Have them make several holes in their card, different sizes, so they can see what different hole diameters do for the projected image. Even make patterns with the holes for the little kids.
The Moon is always a challenge to view during the day. You can ask the kids why this would be so. Why the Moon is illuminated the shape that it is the day of the viewing and how its orbit around the Earth dictates what we see as illuminated. You may even like to pose the question of why the same face is always facing Earth - tidal lock is a tricky concept to get one's head around, and makes for a real brain tease to see that it is indpendent of its illumination.
If you can, beg borrow or steal a dedicated solar scope. It could be a real stretch to get one, but, the image is well worth the bribe to a mate,
If the kids have smart phones handy, they may want to photograph both Moon and Sun through the eyepiece. Some kids have a real knack for positioning the camera lens over the eyepiece.
With the Moon, you can ask the question of why there are different shaded areas. What could have caused the 'seas' and 'oceans' on the Moon - lava flows from a very ancient and distant past when the Moon was young and hot and it had a thin crust (like the Earth) and lava readily flowed when a big rock hit it and punched through the crust.
Have some information handy to explain sunspots and their relationship to solar activity, and how even the smallest sunspot is larger than the diameter of Earth. What powers the Sun, and how long is its lifespan, and how it will end. Other stats are helpful to give scale to the sun and solar system:
* Sun's diameter roughly the same as the distance from Earth to the Moon.
* Speed of light is roughly the span of the sun's diameter in one second.
* Time light takes to reach Earth from the sun is 9min (if I'm not mistaken...
, should reacquaint myself with this...)
* Time to other planets is... well, you get what I mean.
If the kids are older, you may like to ask, mention, the relationship between the Aurora and the sun, and what magnetism has to do with it all.
These are just some suggestions. Plenty to say, and a few things to do.
Good luck with the viewing,
Alex.
