Previous Events 11/22/2022

November 22nd 2022 we presented an outreach program for the Wenden Arizona Elementary School.

We setup a telescope to view the Sun using special filters along with a hands one learning tool consisting of a pencil stuck into a ping-pong ball.   The students would hold the pencil at arm’s length, and then standing in one spot would walk in a circle watch the shadow appear on the ball.   This represents the phases of the moon.
