In this activity, you will use an inexpensive spectrophotometer* to test how light at different visible wavelengths (blue, green, red) is transmitted, or absorbed, through four different colored water samples.
In this lesson students will calculate the size to distance ratio of the Sun and the Moon from Earth to determine how a solar eclipse can occur.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
In this activity students will learn several ways to safely observe a solar eclipse.
The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
