Solar Eclipse coming Aug 1st

Im trying to find some info for my new 2nd grader on this, we havent officially started yet but I'd love to just read up on it with her and have her do some copywork and then experience it on Aug 1st.

Thanks!!!



BTW: havent been around in a while, took a while off, focusing on life and such, homeschooling along the way and enjoying it. Getting ready to start this year..2nd grade here we come!

 

Here's a Wikipedia article about it with a very cool animation of the moon's shadow moving over the earth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_1,_2008

 

Can't offer any info.. but thanks for the heads up!

 

Welcome back!

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks! Ive been peeking in here and there but life gets crazy over the summer a little..Im able to pick up more shifts at work if needed and such Plus focusing on all my other things I have to do daily...although I cant wait to start school...dont have everything I'll need but it will all go ok..

 

Some of this may be a little on the technical side, but:

ok will be able to see this in our area, does anyone know? if so do you know the time or where I can find it.

 

You might try the NASA site, they usually have something on it.
