One thing I did to make the pinhole camera more interesting to young people
was to have them trace the image of the sun/moon every 10 minutes or so,
right on to the white paper screen, and write down the exact time of each
observation. It made the changes in the image clear, provided an activity
during the hour leading up to totality, and left a permanent record of a
unique experience.

P.S.  We used the filters, too.
