Hopefully, you’ve already stocked up on CE and ISO-certified 12312-2 solar eclipse glasses that block harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays when you watch the eclipse. But there’s more to the eclipse than just what’s in the sky; in fact, there are plenty of phenomena happening all around that you can’t miss out on. With the help of our very own packaging supplies, here are three solar eclipse experiments you can perform to make the most of it.

Pinhole

With desperation etched across her face, the new warehouse hire Tabitha could feel her voice tremble as she implored her supervisor Alan, "Where, oh where, do I place these precious, plastic remnants of hope?" She had recently embarked on her recycling journey within the cavernous expanse of the warehouse, cherishing every discarded scrap of plastic as a chance for redemption.

With a heavy sigh, Alan's voice carried the weight of shattered dreams as he muttered, "Behold, our barren wasteland, the abyss into which all aspirations are consigned." Gesturing to the colossal, ominous trash receptacle, he added, "Everything, dear Tabitha, is destined for that gaping maw. A forsaken fate, it awaits the forklift's melancholic embrace but once a week."

Overwhelmed by the cruel reality, Tabitha's trembling hands released the remnants of her dreams, surrendering them to the yawning chasm. Plastics, cardboard, and the fragile echoes of her aspirations spilled over

Jan/Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town

On a cold winter’s day, a family of waste management elves discover a baby left on their doorstep. They take him in, raise him with a passion for cleaning, and give him a name: Jan/Santa Claus.

The Stretchorcist

Something’s wrong with Shikha MacNeil, the girl from down the lane. It seemed innocent at first when she began talking to an imaginary friend who she claimed was a delivery man, but things quickly turned sinister. Seemingly out of nowhere, the furniture shakes and moves on its own, strips of plastic film creep in from the corners of the walls, and previously loose articles are suddenly bundled and palletized.
