In
this
lesson
students
will
investigate
Nitrogen
Dioxide
levels
in
the
atmosphere
over
a
one-year
period.
The
students
will
have
to
look
at
several
regions
from
around
the
world
to
draw
conclusions
regarding
NO2
amounts.
From
the
plots,
students
will
have
to
brainstorm
the
reasons
behind
the
variability
in
NO2
concentrations.

This
series
of
activities
demonstrates
effects
of
rising
levels
of
greenhouse
gases.
Specifically,
it
shows
how:
an
increase
of
heat-trapping
gases
atmosphere
raises
temperatures;
higher
temperatures
affect
the
water
cycle;
and
rising
sea
levels
could
affect
coastal
areas
as
a
result
of
glacial
and
polar
ice.
Designed
to
teach
through
scientific
inquiry,
the
activities
seek

problem-based
learning
activity
in
which
students
pretend
they
are
famous
musicians
planning
a
world
tour.
All
performances
will
be
in
outdoor
amphitheaters.
The
locations
that
have

booked
so
far
are:
Chile,
Venezuela,
Greenland
and
Maine
(USA),
but
no
dates
have
