My Project

On April 8th, there will be a solar eclipse. As a science teacher, I want to use this as a learning opportunity for the students of my school. Because of the safety issue with viewing an eclipse, students need special glasses in order to see it.

I have been working hard to foster curiosity in my students this year, and this is a great opportunity to expand that goal to the entire school.

The student population at my school prevents me from asking for donations from home, so your help is crucial in getting kids inspired to ask questions and seek answers.
