Solar Eclipse Monday August 21, 2017

Getting ready to view the solar eclipse? Use the following multimedia text set to share a variety of information with your students. Share the shortened URL and encourage exploration of the topic in pairs or small groups. On the larger text set, there is a section for students to post their questions and thinking, please encourage appropriate posts since we are sharing this document district wide. There is a section on the text set for safety as well, with a good video about what looking at the sun can do to your eyes. Try the Eclipse Simulator to find out when the partial eclipse is visible in Pleasanton and to what degree. Also, on Monday, watch the live stream viewing of the Solar Eclipse as it crosses the US, by the Exploratorium.
