Scientific paper

One of the lasting legacies of the International Year of Astronomy in 2009 is the Galileoscope. People around the world have one, but there is a major astronomical object they aren't supposed to look at - the Sun! We found that in order to facilitate observations during the actual school day, one best incorporate the Sun. We report on a project to build and use solar filters for the Galileoscope and incorporate them into the standard daytime classroom.
We will describe the filters and a curriculum we are testing and discuss the difficulties we encountered (number one being this extended solar minimum).
We acknowledge a SEED grant from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and that this work is supported in part by the Vanderbilt University Learning Sciences Institute (LSI) and the Institute of Educational Sciences (IES).
