I amso excited to be sharing this event with my fourth graders! We will be starting a unit that discusses temperatures throughout the day and the difference in temperatures in the sun and shade along with the temperature of different dirts and soils. We will be measuring the temperatures of all the different soils in all the different locations during the eclipse. I also plan to have a lesson on the different ways to safely view an eclipse and make some of these to use. Our students are going to be super excited to be able to use glasses and view the eclipse all the way through. Thank you for this wonderful tool!

Does anyone know where a school can get solar viewing glasses? I would like to order them ASAP so that we can get them in time. Thanks!

I am located in Louisiana. I plan to participate in the nationwide science experiment to collect cloud and air temperature data and report it via our phone apps. I encourage other educators to try it. I've recently discovered the cloud app this summer and LOVE it! It is easy to use. I plan to incorporate it into my science class as an ongoing means of collecting data. I will do this with my science classes. We are also planning a school wide viewing of the event!

Download the GLOBE Observer app and register to become a citizen scientist. (After you log in, the app explains how to make eclipse observations.)

I am in Little Rock, Arkansas. As a state Science Instructional Specialist, I will be visiting middle schools prior to the event to prepare students, teachers, and administrators for the eclipse, by providing information and resources, including proper viewing protocols and lesson ideas for the teachers. Instructions for building a pinhole or box projector will be provided and how to properly and safely use during the eclipse. Each school will be collecting weather data (temperature, wind, humidity), GPS location information, and observe and/or photograph/video the event. Schools will share their data/observations by uploading to a portal we provide for the event.

Hello,
This year I am moving to a new school, and the principal is very excited about us hosting an event. We plan to use the NASTA plans, and work in classroom buddies to conduct activities. We won't have enough glasses ffor every kid, but we cna use them in small groups to conduct experiments and observations. Currently we are developing the plans, and I look forward to incorporating new ideas into the event plans.

I will be working with teachers at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy in NH to organize a viewing event on their very first day of school. We will be collecting eclipse measurements and viewing it with the Science Club after school to kick off their year. The events will be posted to the school website and all will be welcome.

I will be hosting an event near Stapleton NE and focusing on doing temperature measurements during the period.

I plan to take my track of 5th graders out that day to view the full eclipse. I am not sure of our schedule yet since we haven't started back. But no matter, we are going to watch this once in a lifetime event!
I heard about it first when we went to the Troy University Montgomery planetarium. I have been hooked ever since. I am a bit nerdy and this is right up my alley. I can't wait to share this excitement with our track (3 homerooms). I would love to have viewer glasses so the kids could actually look at the eclipse rather than the pinhole viewers.

School will open on August 21st! I have been working with student interns from various programs and high schools in Oakland CA in watershed activities this summer. I will be sure that they are aware of GLOBE Eclipse activities and encourage them to get the app and share with their teachers. I will communicate with science teachers so they are prepared to talk to their students and help them view the eclipse indirectly in a safe manner. I will share the solar viewing glasses with teachers interested in doing an eclipse activity with their classes on opening day.

I will be traveling to Oregon to view the eclipse. I plan to share the experience of a viewing a total solar eclipse via social media connections.

It is also my first day of school. My students have an early dismissal, so this will be an after school activity. I can share my ideas with you if you are interested. Also, if you are collecting any data that day, I would love to share. We are in Virginia and also in a similar partial band to your school.

Hi, I'm new to GLOBE so I was excited when I ran across this community. Eclipse day is our first day back to school and we are in the northern Illinois area in the 80-90% band ... Our plans are developing with that in mind. Early in the day science classes will have the opportunity to make simple viewers to use during the eclipse. We are going to have an Eclipse viewing event with opportunities for students to view the eclipse safely, to measure the temperature and light. Some may choose to draw their representation of the eclipse. We will be able to analyze collected data the next school day.

As school has not started here, our goal is to get as many people from the community at the museum to view the eclipse together! We will have a whole day’s worth of activities: pinhole camera, hands-on experiments, eclipse legends, planetarium shows, and a time capsule for the next eclipse in 2024. Since we are not in the path of totality we hope to have a live video of the total eclipse, as part of our cloudy day contingency plan. We are really looking forward to the day, it should be a great time for all!

I teach science methods courses for pre-service teachers at the University of Arkansas. since the eclipse will occur during my class time, I will be incorporating methods for teaching about the earth-Sun-moon relationship with viewing the eclipse. I would like all my students to have a pair of eclipse glasses in order to view the eclipse. Thank you for making this possible.

It will be our first day of school! What a better way to start than with some real science.
Students will be doing some NASA activities listed here: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/planning-your-eclipse-party

I teach 6th grade at Central High School. I am super excited for my students to have the opportunity to witness the solar eclipse. No doubt this will be a memorable event for them. We plan to work with the high school Earth Science class to gather data during the eclipse. I teach at a Title I school and most of my students won't be able to purchase solar eclipse glasses for viewing this incredible event.

At Cabrini High School in New Orleans we are bringing all students into the school yard, using probes to collect data before, during and after the eclipse. We will test for temperature, light intensity, UVA and UVB. I am hoping to get our dance team to perform for us. Their name is the "Eclipse Dance Team", because our school mascot is the crescent moon.

I am planning to hold an eclipse viewing party at our school on the afternoon of the 21st. I like the idea of doing some datalogging for light and temperature using either Vernier probeware or Hoboware (I have both) even though we will only be at about 72% totality. Hey, 72% is better than 0% any day, right?!
