Question: what materials do i need to create a lunar eclipse for a science project at school? 

Answer: A simple quarter for every member of the class. Each person is to hold the quarter (representing the earth's shadow) at appropriate arms length to match the size of the moon and then slowly move it in front of the moon to simulate a lunar eclipse. It also works for solar eclipses but you need sunglasses to stare at the sun. :)
