1. How can the small moon cover the big sun? Students discovered that the moon can eclipse the sun because of distance! Objects appear smaller when they are further away. They "eclipsed" the sun (basketball) with the moon (ping pong balls) and measured how far they had to step back.
2. Next, we ate some solar eclipse snacks! We had moon pies, sun chips, and caprisuns as we watched Bill Nye The Sun!
3. Then, we stapled rubber bands on our glasses to make them fit nice and tight on our heads!
4. We chewed our eclipse gum as we did third grade solar eclipse stations!
5. THE SOLAR ECLIPSE VIEWING 🌝🌚🌞⭐️
These are great pictures! Thank you for giving us a peek into their day and making this event so special for our kids!!
