Excitement is building among North Texas students as we get closer to Monday's total solar eclipse.
The April 8th total solar eclipse has been a great way to motivate students to learn more about astronomy and science as a whole.At many North Texas schools, lesson plans on Friday centered around Monday's eclipse.Schultz Elementary School, in Denton ISD, got to learn about the eclipse from seven NASA educators and scientists.
There, Kathryn Wilbanks, an AISD grad who is now a doctoral student at the University of Michigan's Climate and Sciences and Engineering Department, talked about her plans to students."I'm hoping I'll really spark some creative ideas about what science can do and what we can learn from big scientific events like this," said WIlbanks.At Uplift Williams Preparatory in Dallas, eighth graders took part in an interactive talk with astronomers from the Carnegie Institute.
