These web pages from the Exploratorium presents a hands-on activity for safely observing a solar eclipse with a pinhole viewer. The project uses everyday supplies: long box, a piece of aluminum foil, a pin, and a sheet of white paper. The site provides step-by-step instructions, pictures, and an even quicker and easier alternative project.
