NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN -Spectroscopes Are on Their Way Home

Kids made spectroscopes today.  We talked about safety in every class, but they are to be used to look at different types of light to see different wavelengths (which our eyes see as different colors).   Examples include florescent lights, LED, computer screens, etc.

HOWEVER, NEVER USE A SPECTROSCOPE TO LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN!

Instead, look on the ground to see the light reflected from the sun, or better yet, look at the moon!

 

Enjoy!  Happy Light Science Exploration, and please use caution!
