EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week!

In honor of Thanksgiving, this week's featured site is:


The First Thanksgiving
http://teacher.scholastic.com/thanksgiving/

Beginning with a pictorial time line of 1620–1621, students explore the voyage on the Mayflower, the relationship between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims, and the events that led up to the harvest feast celebrated by both groups. The project also gives students an intimate perspective of the period through interviews with Pilgrim interpreters playing the roles of actual Pilgrims, and a modern-day Wampanoag descendant.

Enjoy!

This week brings an exciting event:

Total Lunar Eclipse -- Saturday, November 8, 2003

On November 8, 2003, the Moon will slip into the shadow of the Earth, causing a total lunar eclipse. The initial penumbral stage of a lunar eclipse is practically invisible. By the time the more visible, umbral eclipse begins, the Moon will be well above the horizon for all to enjoy.

Lunar eclipses are perfectly safe to view, and no special equipment is needed. Telescopes and binoculars can add to the fun of watching the Earth's shadow sweep across the features of the Moon's surface. All you really need to enjoy a lunar eclipse are your eyes and good weather. And there's no rule that says you have to watch the whole thing. Just get out and watch; even if only for a few minutes.

For complete information, including viewing times, visit
