COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Even if clouds cover the total solar eclipse Monday afternoon, you can see it in your own home — with a little bit of water, food coloring and an effervescent tablet.

Eye safety during the solar eclipse

In this week’s “Connecting with COSI,” Dr. Alyssa Cassabaum-Smith shows Monica Day how to make kid-friendly eclipse art at home. Tomorrow’s total solar eclipse will only last a few minutes, but this fun project can last a lifetime.
