I love how you built a hands-on model to show exactly how a solar eclipse happens, and your pictures clearly show the glowing ring effect you were aiming for. It is great to see your excitement about space, and you did a wonderful job turning a big astronomy concept into something easy to see and understand.
This is a good project. Your model using Styrofoam balls and a flashlight did a great job showing the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth especially the bright “ring” effect you recreated. I also like that you included information about eclipse safety and how scientists observe eclipses. Your slides were visually appealing and easy to follow. Overall, you created a clear and engaging demonstration.
