I was so excited for the Solar Eclipse.
The only problem is that I didn't have the proper glasses, but we did what we always do in these kinds of situations...we improvised!
First, we scavenged around the house to find as many pairs of sunglasses as we could.
Then we looked up how to make a pinhole projector out of a cereal box see the reflection of the eclipse.
Another way we viewed the eclipse, which was actually our favorite way, was to fill up a bucket of water. That's it. All you have to do is find the reflection of the sun in the water and wait for the wind to stop and you can clearly see the progression of the moon over the sun!
The last thing we tried was pushing the tip of a pencil through a paper plate and holding it up to the sun. The sun shines through and then you can see it on the ground, another paper plate, or other surface.
***SIDE NOTE***
We later found our eclipse glasses from 2017 in our memory jar,
so now we have them ready for the next one!
