Northland Preparatory Academy celebrated Solar Week with members from the Coconino Astronomical Society and the Coconino Amateur Radio Club. There were six telescopes outfitted with solar filters, one spectroscope and myriad sun-viewing glasses. Kaci Heins's 6th grade class built solar ovens, and tested their efficiency in making s’mores. Watch out for small solar cars racing later in the week!
