Hawaiian Students Learn About the Venus Transit

NASA's Sun-Earth Day travelled to a native Hawaiian elementary school in Hilo to record a classroom activity about the Transit of Venus. The students built small telescopes and practiced following a model of Venus across a projected image of our Sun. Along the way, they learned about the 1874 Transit event which ties in closely with Hawaiian history.
