K12Science Podcast: Things to Know About the Solar Eclipse
I was recently reading the Fall, 2023 issue of “Science and Children” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the section, “Science 101” written by Matthew Bobrowsky. He wrote an article entitled, “What Can My Students See During the Upcoming Solar Eclipse?!”
The total solar eclipse that will take place on April 8, 2024, will probably be your last chance to see one until 2045.
