Absorption by Atmospheric Gases of Incoming and Outgoing Radiation
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, students are split into groups to examine a specific band of the electromagnetic spectrum and the absorption spectra of seven atmospheric gases in that wavelength range. Using a jigsaw approach, the students regroup to have an expert on each band to examine the full spectrum, identify and rank greenhouse gases, and estimate Earth's temperature from satellite data.
