features
a
video
that
shows
worldwide
production,
transport,
and
distribution
of
carbon
monoxide
(CO)
in
the
atmosphere.
CO
is
a
poisonous
gas
that
prevents
the
atmosphere
from
filtering
other
pollutants.
CO
also
helps
form
ozone
gas,
which
is
harmful
to
life
when
it
appears
in
the
lowest
reaches
of
the
troposphere
where
we
get
the
air
we
breathe.
About
two-thirds
of
the
world's
CO
comes

In
this
activity
students
will
apply
the
concept
of
triangulation
in
a
variety
of
problem
solving
situations
involving
the
Aurora
Borealis.
They
learn
that
before
the
advent
of
photography
in
the
1880's,
auroral
observers
tried
to
determine
the
height
of
aurora
by
the
method
of
triangulation
and,
from
the
geometry
of
the
triangle,
they
estimated
that
aurora
occurred
between
650
to
1,000
km
above
the

In
this
activity,
students
will
construct
a
device
to
measure
slope
(clinometer),
use
it
to
measure
a
series
of
slopes
in
their
area,
and
relate
the
concept
to
physical
structures
around
them.
Clinometers
will
be
constructed
using
the
material
and
instructions
provided
with
the
activity.
Working
in
groups,
the
students
will
measure
three
slopes
they
select

In
this
earthquake
safety
classroom
activity,
students
work
in
teams
to
build
seismic
safe
structures.
Students
will
try
building
their
own
structure
to
see
if
they
can
discover
some
of
the
features
that
minimize
the
effects
on
a
building
when
the
Earth
shakes.
Each
team
will
build
and
test
three
structures
following
the
instructions.
After
all
teams
finish,
the
class
discusses

In this lesson, students explore different aspects of solar energy by building a solar hot box and testing various colors and materials to find the maximum temperature that can be reached. They will review the basic needs for alternative energy sources, identify three materials and colors that will produce maximum heat, and solve a design problem for the hot box.
