How are eyes damaged by staring at the sun? 5. Where can I get the right kind of solar filter to view the eclipse? These are the 7 questions that goes was on the site. The class was separated into 7 groups. Each group would take on a question and become experts at it. Each group would read and collaborate finding the main idea in answering the question. This was intended to be a class discussion. 6. Is it only the bright light that is dangerous when viewing the sun? 7. Isn’t this ‘safety’ issue about eclipse viewing, a bit overblown?
