To prepare students for the big day, the Association for Science Education has produced activity packs aimed at primary and secondary levels, including photocopiable pages accompanied by detailed notes for teachers. Safe viewing, recording and reporting, modelling and explaining, understanding solar physics, as well as using IT and the Internet are all covered, to enable both teachers and students to make the most of the 1999 eclipse experience. ASE Booksales at College Lane, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9AA (tel: 01707 283000, free fax: 0800 371856) should be contacted for further details.
Also available early in 1999 will be three Investigation packs to stimulate a scientific approach to the 1999 event. The School of Science and Mathematics at Sheffield Hallam University has worked in collaboration with UK scientists active in the field to develop the materials, and there will be opportunities for users to work together across the UK and not just in the zone of totality. Thus a pool of results can be built up nationwide of what is happening on the day. One pack is aimed at primary children, the second at secondary students and the third at the general public, including families with young children. Further information can be obtained from Sheffield Hallam University (tel: 0114 225 4881).
And finally...! The magic of solar eclipses can be observed from the comfort of your own armchair thanks to some of the stunning visual images available from UCLimages. A 1999 calendar with 12 photographs taken by Dr Francisco Diego, five posters (size 60 cm by 42 cm) and a widescreen video can all be ordered from `Solar eclipse', UCLimages, 48 Riding House Street, London W1P 7PL (tel: 0171 504 9375, fax: 0171 436 1738, e-mail: images@ucl.ac.uk).
