In this activity, students will learn how a solar eclipse affects the environmental conditions around us. They will build their own observatory to measure changes in light, temperature and sound during this astronomical phenomenon.

AGE: 10-12 years

OBJECTIVES:

• Create an observatory that measures the environmental conditions during a solar eclipse (those that will occur in Spain in 2026, 2027 and 2028). In particular, measure:
• Flow emission.
• Noise.
• Temperature.

KEY COMPETENCES (LOMLOE):

• Learning to learn.
• Digital competence.
• STEAM competition.
• Social competence.

MATERIALS:

• Computer with internet access.
• 1 microbit.
• MakeCode for microbit.
