Question by : i am a teacher and need a science project to teach students about eclipses?
I am a teacher for 2nd graders, and every chapter I perform a project for them so they better understand the material and have a little bit of fun. This chapeter is about eclipses... solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. I was hoping someone could give me ideas for a cute, fun project!

Answer by bronnimooseIsn't it scary that teachers have to resort to 'Yahoo answers' to get inspiration for their work.
I assume you're American as it's clear that the nation is getting dumber and dumber and dumber............I can see why now.

Where can you see a partial eclipse?
Question by Dogz_Luver: Where can you see a partial eclipse?
If one person is in California and the other is in New Jersey, will they theoretically both be able to see a partial/annular eclipse? If you just answer the question, that's awesome, but if you have any web sites that were sources can you link to them?

Answer by GeoffGAny lunar eclipse is visible over about half the Earth. Partial solar eclipses are also visible over a large area. The solar eclipse in 2017 should be visible as a partial eclipse in both California and New Jersey, but when an eclipse is that close, it's worth driving to the path of totality to see it as a total eclipse. That's certainly what I plan to do. A total eclipse is just SO much better than a partial eclipse!

May 20, 2012, Annular Solar Eclipse: how it will look from San Diego. Never Look at the Sun without appropriate eye protection!!!! It begins at around 5:28p, reaches maximum at around 6:45p and ends at sunset. Annular means that the moon is near a far point in it's orbit, so that at its maximum coverage (in Northern California) a "ring of sun" will be visible around the moon. Here in San Diego, it misses to the side. Still a pretty good time!

Question by lucia: Venus transit -very easy way to make safety glasses etc?
I am not at all good at these things and never could see any events like these because I couldn't get any method to work and didn't understand where to look. When I was a kid I got so frustrated during a solar eclipse that I just looked directly at the sun. Don't want to do that again..I am not scientific at all but want to see this! Thanks everyone for any easy suggestions!!

Answer by Star DustFind a local welders' supply store. Buy a replacement filter for a welder's mask with a rating no less than #14. The transit of Venus will show as a small, black dot "on" the sun's face.
