 Description
There are two activities
for this NASA CONNECT™ program,
Sizing Up
the Clouds and Aerosols
Protocol. In Sizing Up
the Clouds, students
will set up simulated "clouds" to
represent three cloud types
and to
estimate the "precipitation" contents
of each cloud. In Aerosols
Protocol, students will
measure the atmosphere's
optical thickness-how much
of the Sun's light is scattered
or absorbed by particles
suspended in the air. This
activity is part of the
GLOBE program and can be
downloaded from the GLOBE
web site. To learn more
about GLOBE visit http://www.globe.gov.
Instructional
Objectives
The student will
- estimate the "precipitation" contents
of three cloud types
by using different scientific
methods.
- measure the aerosol
optical thickness of
the atmosphere
