Science Monday: Solar Eclipse
Everyone was disappointed that I didn't plan ahead and buy Solar Eclipse Glasses for the $49 they were going for. Instead, we put together this quick project, which worked out amazingly well.

First we checked out what the image would look like, long before the eclipse.
A perfect circle/sun.
What happened to the birds?
I ran into the house to grab my camera before the eclipse occured. When I came out, there was complete silence in nature, except for the crickets!
The best view from Ontario occured at 2:32pm.
Our perfect circle turned into a sliver of light!!
