Is CO2 to Blame?
This lesson includes 1 or 2- 50 minute period(s) worth of Greenhouse gas exploration. Students are creating and refining a drawn model of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere, reading and discussing information on NASA technology for carbon dioxide detection, conducting a lab to show the ability of carbon dioxide to retain heat, and using Phet simulations to explore specific molecules in the atmosphere.

This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
