We had a watch party in the front yard of our science center.
Using a hole punch and paper, we made an eclipse sign and took photos of its shadow during the eclipse. This time I would like to have guests try this while they are waiting for the eclipse. I would encourage them to spell out their names or create a design and take photos of the resulting shadows.
We also had telescopes on hand that were tacking the Sun's path and we had protective covers that allowed guests to watch the eclipse safely while not looking at the Sun. We also provided eclipse glasses.
