Observing a total solar eclipse can be an exciting, once in a lifetime experience!  Long before there were cameras or telescopes, eclipse watchers recorded what they saw in the sky in words, drawings, and paintings.  Tweens will experience this pre-telescope scientific recording by practicing scientific observation through an observation log and by creating their own solar eclipse chalk drawing.
