Apologia General Science Experiment: 1.4 Eclipse
Items needed: cardboard, push-pins (for the paper to be tacked down to the cardboard), pencil, 8 inches of yarn or string...Dd had fun wearing her science goggles, but that is just for fun!
 |
| The yarn is fully extended, the push pins are holding the yard down on the end of the yarn. Dd is following the yard from one side to the other. |
 |
| Now Dd is moving the push pin farther into the yarn--going in about 1-2 inches |
 |
| Now Dd is drawing the line from one side to the other, on the shorter yarn |
 |
| Done! We finished and did get two eclipses from this experiment. This experiment was comparing this to how the planets also don't form a circle, but an eclipse as they travel. |
