Each participating site has a keyword and an exhibit with information relating to the Transit of Venus. Visit at least ten sites and collect the keywords. Answer as many questions as you can from the information at those sites. Once you finish, bring your list of answers and keywords to one of the three drop-off sites below by Thursday, May 31, to receive solar shades for your family.
