In
this
activity,
students
use
a
microcomputer
connected
to
a
light
sensor
and
temperature
probe
to
explore
the
reflection
and
absorption
of
radiation
for
different
surfaces.
Students
follow
instructions
in
this
guided
inquiry
based
lab
and
are
then
asked
to
design
an
experiment
of
their
own
to
either
test
the
reflectivity
of
sand,
soils,
water
and
other
materials
or
to
investigate
the
effect
of
different

This
exercise
has
students
use
a
simple
physical
model
of
the
Earth,
sun,
and
moon
to
understand
why
the
moon
changes
phases
from
the
perspective
of
Earthly
observers.
Students
hold
up
balls
representing
the
moon
in
a
room
with
a
single
light
source
(representing
the
sun).
As
they
turn
relative
to
the
sun,
holding
the
"moon"
out
in
front
of
them,
they
will
see
changes
in
how

This site from SERC presents Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) warm up questions about life on the Moon and Mars. The questions promote the examination of Archaea, evidence of life on Mars and protolife on the Moon, as well as what it would mean to scientists and society if life were found on Mars or the Moon.
