Here Comes the Solar Eclipse!

Are you planning on learning about and watching the solar eclipse with your young naturalist on August  21st? Our family is really excited and we have some ideas to make it memorable for yours as well.

A great way to start is getting your kids informed and thinking using the Eclipse Junior Ranger booklet that you can download from this site. If you are near a national park in the line of the eclipse, turn it in for an awesome one-of-a-kind badge or mail in your booklet to get a badge

 If you have a cub or Boy Scout in your family, he can earn a special patch through his troop as well.



Visit the NASA 2017 Eclipse website for a countdown, safety information, and list of events. (It is important to  make sure you have safe glasses. They can be purchased here.) Or make your own viewer from a shoe box:


 At timeanddate.com  there is a list of cities in the U.S. to search when the eclipse will be  best viewed in your area as well as a live stream of the event.
Each of you can take the time to write & draw in your nature journal and ask yourselves these questions:
*  Did you notice animals acting different before, during, and after the eclipse? Did the birds still sing during the eclipse
*Did it feel cooler during the eclipse?
*  Did the change in light make the landscape look different?

  1. Experts from law assignment help providers, on the other hand, double-check the plagiarism. They will read it and correct any errors they notice. Then they use paid programs to scan the entire assignment.These are the four reasons why a student should seek Commercial Law Assignment Help for their own advantage. With the help of faultless assignments, students can achieve excellent evaluation results.

  8. To buy Bitcoin on Guarda Wallet, you'll need to follow a few steps. Guarda Wallet is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, which means it doesn't directly sell or buy cryptocurrencies. Instead, you can use Guarda Wallet to store your Bitcoin and then use an external service, such as an exchange or a peer-to-peer platform, to buy Bitcoin and transfer it into your wallet. Here's a general guide on how to buy Bitcoin with Guarda Wallet
