Having just experienced a partial solar eclipse, we used it to work on an Astronomy lesson prior to the formal start of this main lesson block. In the video I share a bit about the Muslim prayer during an eclipse. It is a special prayer that is offered in congregation at the masjid, and read aloud. The 2-ruka prayer is elongated during ruku and sujood, allowing extra time for dua. A significant difference is that there are two ruku for each sujood, so this two-ruka prayer has 4 ruku and 4 qiam rather than 2 and 2. For a complete description and explanation, please refer to this video:

For this lesson, we referred to online resources for the specificities of solar eclipses, then referred to specific hadith for the Islamic portion of this lesson. Art inspiration for this lesson came from a content creator on Instagram. We are using our Main Lesson Books from A Child's Dream. These measure 9 inches by 12 inches and are the astronomy books which contain a blue page for astronomy constellations and a white page for written narration. While this size main lesson book is often used in grade 5 or younger, I find them to be a suitable size through middle school.
