Students will be able to:
use information from virtual laboratories and classroom discussions to
-describe the structure of earth's atmosphere.
-investigate temperature, density, and pressure changes in layers of Earth's atmosphere.
-identify meteorological and astronomical phenomena that occur in layers of Earth's atmosphere.
Students spent the class period completing a virtual lab on the atmospheric layers. You can find the handouts at the top of this blog. You can do the activity by either cutting and pasting the link below or going to Dr. Gayden's Science Zone for Tuesday, 21 September, and clicking the link for the 6th grade.
