On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk.
Several classes at Tipton High School are planning a viewing opportunity to allow students to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event.  Our Algebra 1 class will be using pinhole projectors to view the eclipse.
 
 As always, student safety is our top concern.  Looking directly at the sun is unsafe.  The only safe way to look at the partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” or a “pinhole projector”.  Ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the sun.  Although there is no way to fully guarantee student safety during such a rare event, we will take precautionary measures including pre-education to make students aware of the risks involved in directly looking at the sun.  At no time should students or participants look at the sun directly without using the pinhole projector as it could cause permanent eye damage or other unknown affects.  There is no way for the school to guarantee that your child will not look directly at the sun without using the pinhole projector, so please speak with your child about the importance of using the pinhole projector at all times during this event.
Solar Eclipse Permission Slip

Students must have a Signed Permission Slip and have created a Pinhole Projector in order to participate in the viewing activities.  You can download the Permission Slip below.
