Teachable Moments
I was recently reading the July/August 2023 issue of \u201cScience Scope\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cFrom the Editor\u2019s Desk\u201d column, written by Patty McGinnis.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cHurrah for Teachable Moments.\u201d
Two wonderful teachable celestial events will occur during this school year in North America, allowing plenty of time to plan.\xa0\xa0A solar eclipse \u201cdouble-header\u201d occurs on Saturday, October 14, 2023 (an annular eclipse) and on Monday, April 8, 2024 (a total eclipse).
