NANA SAYS THE ECLIPSE WAS AN AMAZING SCIENCE LESSON

Watching everyone, especially little children and teenagers looking up with their glasses on instead of looking down at the cell phones was refreshing. As a Nana I am very concerned about the effect of carrying a phone and constantly looking down. Posture, lack of real social interaction, disconnecting from reality. The Eclipse! What a reality! What a historical event.! For those that witnessed it, the memory will last a lifetime. Science is part of our lives. Taking part in it every day is a good thing. I remember one granddaughter when the raspberries in the garden were not ripe yet. There were lots of bees so I informed her how the bees pollinate, etc. So when the raspberries were finally ripe and she had some, it was wonderful what she said. "Thank you bees!" She remembered our little science lesson. So find those moments and lessons every day! It will be worth it in the long run!
