Comment on this resource
This site is a joint effort of NOAA Research and the College of Education at the University of South Alabama. The goal of the site is to provide middle school science students and teachers with research and investigation experiences using on-line resources. This unit provides information and activities about the Sun, and solar events. Events such as solar flares, coronal holes, solar winds, and others are covered here. Students discover these events, their effects on humans and the Earth, gather solar data, and explain problems that occur with solar events. Parts of the unit include gathering information from other websites, applying the data gathered, and performing enrichment exercises. This site contains a downloadable teachers guide, student guide, and all activity sheets to make the unit complete
