Viewing the Solar Eclipse

Today, our class made pinhole cameras using cardstock, foil, tape, and a paper clip. We took turns letting the sun shine through a pinhole and onto a piece of white paper on the ground. This was the effect...
There was only a crescent of light because most of the sun was blocked by the moon.

We also got to view the solar eclipse using special NASA-approved viewing lenses, and watch the eclipse live online.

Please share two or three sentences about your eclipse-viewing experience in the comments section! :)

      Jackie, wasn't it amazing that the sun appeared to be a crescent-shape, like a moon?!

    Today's experience was amazing because when we looked at the eclipse I got to see a orange bright moonlight.
    I got to cut papers and we made a little hole and in that hole I was able to see little moon.

    I saw my first eclipse today. The moon covered part of the sun making it look like a piece of an orange. I was scared until I got use to it. It looked beautiful and it was so bright.

      It did look like a segment of an orange! Great simile, Emily! :)
