Greenhouse Effect Project

Demonstrate your in depth understanding of the greenhouse effect by creating a 3D project.  Attached is the project description and rubric.  Projects are due at the beginning of class on Monday.

Greenhouse Effect Project

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Parts of Sunlight

• Infrared (IR) long wavelength  - lower energy
• Visible spectrum (ROYGBIV)
• Ultraviolet (UV) short wavelength - high energy

Greenhouse Effect Visual

Get excited! You will be building a 3d model of the greenhouse effect that includes all the layers of the atmosphere and the 5 main greenhouse gases.  Get creative!  Deadlines to follow.  

For homework:

• summarize the process
• zoom into greenhouse gases
• sources
• chemical composition (formula)
• material ideas
• atmosphere layers

Weekend Homework
