Totality of a solar eclipse
This was truly an incredible experience for us. We took a break from our typical unit to explore space on Monday.

our "galaxy" playdough we made...
I have to say I was *most* excited about the moon shadows. I actually squealed loudly when I saw them in person. I was telling everybody around me to be sure to look at the ground!
We prepared the night before by making our pinhole boxes. We practiced and emphasized we never look at the sun without very special glasses, which we didn't have ;) We found this fascinating!
Then Lo and Behold, a passerby gifted us a pair of glasses and that was just the icing on the cake!
Notice how the shadows change direction? up- before totality, below- after totality
We all were on such a high afterwards. We might just go chase down the next one ;)
I am now booking for 2017 sessions for the Forsyth county area. Book with me now!
