Solar eclipse today!

Hello everyone! Today something amazing is going to happen! A solar eclipse! This is when the earth sun and moon line up and the moon blocks part of the sun. The eclipse will be visible in most parts of Canada and the U.S.A. Click here to see if it is visible in your area. I made a pinhole camera to watch the eclipse. It is NOT safe to look directly at the sun, but you can make this with household items and watch the eclipse with no problem. Click on this link to found out how to make on. The date on this link is not right. Just pay attention on how to make the pinhole camera and you should be fine.

Have fun!

Mercury(The closest planet to the sun) fun facts!
  • A day on Mercury is 53 Earth Days.
  • A Year on mercury is 88 Earth Days, so a mercury year has less than two mercury days!
  • During the day on mercury, It is 750 degrees Fahrenheit. Science it is the closest planet to the sun, you may think it is very hot all the time, but during the night on mercury, it is -300 degrees Fahrenheit!

Book in progress!

I am writing a book! It is a fictional book about a girl who lives in Dominican republic. I did that because it is where my mom grew up and it is my favorite place to travel to. I can't wait till it is published! I am publishing it through Amazon kindle. It will be a kindle e-book, and soon, I am going to try to make it a real book. Wish me luck!

Fun fact friday! Make a field journal.

Sorry guys! I missed Fun fact Friday last week! I was sick and now is when I am feeling better. So, today's FFF will not be about the past, it will be about now, and what I am doing today!

I started a Bird watching project. I got a bird field guide, I made a bird field journal, and I started a bird life list. It is a very fascinating hobby for young and old. I will give you a craft today:

Make a field journal:

Materials:
Lined paper
Plain paper
Something to color with (optional)

First fold the three pages of lined paper in half, long ways, up and down, then cut it right in the middle after you folded it. Put them inside each other like a book. Now get ONE piece of plain paper (printing paper) And do the same thing you did with the lined paper. Use it as the cover for your book. When you are done, you can take crayons, markers, or coloring pencil if you want, and make a little picture on the front cover. Or you could just write (Your name here)'s Field journal. Now when you go on a hike, write down everything you saw. and draw pictures. Don't forget the date!
