SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Solar Observing
DESCRIPTION:It’s the longest day of the year\, so the Bell is celebrating with solar telescopes! Join us in the Learning Landscape as we observe our closest star and learn why the amount of daylight we see changes throughout the year. \n\n\n\nSolar Observing is an in-person event at the Bell Museum and is included in the cost of regular admission. \n\n\n\nSolar safety \n\n\n\n\nOur telescope equipment utilizes safe Sun viewing methods; filtering the sunlight and projecting the sunlight.\n\n\n\nSolar filters include white light filters that block 99.999 percent of incoming sunlight\, safely allowing us to see any sunspots that might be visible.\n\n\n\nH-alpha SolarMax II telescope filters out all the colors of sunlight except a specific red light (656nm) to allow us to see features such as solar prominences along the edge of the Sun.\n\n\n\nSunspotters use a different method to safely view the Sun. They utilize mirrors and lenses to project the Sun safely onto a screen (piece of paper). You can draw/trace your own Sun and sunspots to start your own solar data log.\n\n\n\n\nFind additional solar observing dates at the Bell Museum

SUMMARY:Soldiers of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution was America’s first civil war. It would split the country between Loyalists\, those who wanted to stay loyal to the king\, and Patriots\, those who wanted to separate from Great Britain to become an independent and sovereign nation. How could we\, as a people\, go from being proud that we were British subjects and part of the greatest empire in the world\, to wanting our independence from the mother country\, in the span of just 10 years? Through drama\, role-playing\, and living history experiences\, participants will gain an understanding of : \n\n\n\n\nThe Causes of the Revolution\n\n\n\nImportant people of the Revolution\n\n\n\nImportant battles of the Revolution\n\n\n\nThe tactics and strategies of the war.\n\n\n\nThe cost of the war\, in terms of property and loss of life\n\n\n\nThe British viewpoint and attitudes toward the war\n\n\n\nThe typical soldier’s daily life\, uniform\, equipment and weapons\n\n\n\nThe results of the war; a new and better government and much\, much more.
