Learning about our Earth and Atmosphere

We have been in our Weather and Climate Unit the last couple of months. We have been able to journal weather conditions, study the composition and conditions of our atmosphere, and apply our knowledge to current events. One of our labs was analyzing the effects of radiant heating on different types of materials.  We were able to use temperature probes and graphing calculators to watch the heating and cooling cycles.  We also have made scaled models of our atmospheric layers of Earth.
