Students will use NASA Satellite data to analyze and understand ways of studying photosynthesis from space. They will assume the role of a park ranger at Shenandoah National Park and determine when the plants and trees at their top efficiency by analyzing when the plants are absorbing a majority of the light hitting them (within the photosynthetic range.)

Solar
energy
is
radiant
energy
that
is
produced
by
the
Sun.
Every
day
the
Sun
radiates
an

solar
energy
a
place
on
Earth
receives
depends
on
several
conditions.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
explore
real
NASA
satellite
data
for
energy
from
the
Sun
and
cloud
cover
for
their
area
to
determine
if
they
