My Project

Solar eclipses are really cool events that don't happen often. They give us a chance to see something amazing in the sky. We want to make sure every kid in 6th grade can see it safely. That's why we're giving them special glasses to wear.

These glasses keep our eyes safe from the sun's strong light.

With them, students can watch the eclipse without hurting their eyes.

At Barre City, we know how important it is for kids to learn by doing things themselves. We think giving these glasses will help kids learn more about science and the world around them. They won't just be useful during the eclipse. Teachers can use them for other science lessons too.
