We Want to See the Solar Eclipse!

Help me give my students the ability to view the upcoming solar eclipse in April of this year. Having a set of these will also allow my classes to view solar eclipses occurring in the future as well.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lyons's classroom raised $291

My Project

A major standard in 6th grade science is understanding how solar eclipses are created by movement in the Earth, Sun, and Moon system. Once upon a time, the only safe way to view an eclipse was through a pinhole viewer. We now have specially designed sunglasses that make direct viewing safe for everyone, as long as they are wearing the specially designed glasses.

Please help me give the 6th grade students at our school the opportunity to use these glasses to help them view the upcoming solar eclipse!

Having that opportunity will enhance their understanding and provide an awesome opportunity for them.
