Inuit Snow Goggles

On Wednesday, room 4 tested the Inuit snow goggles that we made. We learned that the Inuit fashioned these goggles out of bone. When the sun is shining in the winter on the snow and ice, the reflection on the white snow is so bright, that a person could develop snow-blindness. To prevent this from happening, the Inuit designed their snow goggles. We discovered that our paper versions did help reduce a lot of the brightness and strain on our eyes. We have learned that the Inuit were very resourceful people!
