The eclipse was not as spectacular as the one in 2007, primarily due to clouds but I was happy to learn that so many of you were able to view it without having to stay up until 3:00AM

Collaboration and the Lunar Eclipse

Ms. Ingley and I were collaborating on our fourth and fifth grade Science Lessons. We were discussing notebooks, portfolios, and our blog. While we were comparing notes, Ms. Ingley remarked that Mr. Adams had fascinating information about the upcoming lunar eclipse.
The next lunar eclipse visible from Berkeley will occur on Wednesday February 20, 2008. It will be visible from Western Europe, Africa, and Asia on February 21, Ms. Ingley's birthday.
