THE SUN Electromagnetic Field

MAPPING MAGNETIC FIELDS You should have: 1 large piece of paper 1 cow magnet 2-3 compasses Writing implementProcedure1. Place the compass on the middle of
the paper and trace around it. Draw a dot somewhere near the magnet and place the center of the compass over the dot.

MAPPING MAGNETIC FIELDSProcedure1. Place the compass on the middle of the paper and
trace around it. Draw a dot somewhere near the magnet and place the center of the compass over the dot.
2. Draw a dot at eh location of the arrow head of the compass needle
3. Move the compass from the paper and draw lines connecting the dots with arrows indicating the direction that the compass points.
4. Remove the compass from the paper and draw lines connecting the dots with arrows indicating the direction that the compass points.
5. Continue steps b-d until the line meets the magnet or edge of the paper
6. Pick another spot near the magnet and repeat the processes.

providing a detailed three-dimensional map of the magnetosphere, with surprising results

UV RADIATION How much do you get?

UV BEADS1. On you paper number 1-5- skipping 2 lines
between each.2. Observe each bag and write down your
observations. 3. On the back of your paper – answer these
questions:4. Which bag has the lightest color beads?5. Which bag has the darkest color beads?6. Why do you think there is a difference?7. Looking at the bag with the sun glasses
covering them and the regular glasses. What is the difference?

TIMED A Mission to Explore One of the Last
Frontiers in Earth’ Atmosphere The TIMED (Thermosphere Ionosphere
Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics) mission is studying the influences of the Sun and humans on the least explored and understood region of Earth's atmosphere - the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere/Ionosphere (MLTI).

IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Impact craters Cake Batter Lava Moon Phases Climate Cycles Let’s make a cloud. It’s Alive
![Page 17: From the Sun… to Pluto… and Beyond…](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013011/568130b0550346895d96c276/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IMPACT CRATER1. Look at the photographs of the Moon, how do
you think the craters were formed?2. What do you think are factors that affect the
appearance and size of craters and ejecta?3. What does this “lunar” surface look like before
testing?4. Measure the mass of the first impactor and
record it on your Data Chart.5. Drop impactor #1 from a height of 30 cm.6. Measure the diameter and depth of the
resulting crater. Count the rays, measure, and determine the average length of all the rays.
7. Record the information on the Data Chart and repeat the procedure varying the drop height as instructed on the Data Chart
![Page 18: From the Sun… to Pluto… and Beyond…](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013011/568130b0550346895d96c276/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
IMPACT CRATERS What does the data reveal about the
relationship between crater size and velocity of impactor?
What does the data reveal about the relationship between ejecta (ray) length and velocity of impactor?
If the impactor were dropped from 6 meters, would the crater be larger or smaller? How much larger or smaller? (Note: the velocity of the impactor would be 1,084 cm/s)

MOON PHASES - OREO
Materials: 4 oreos 1 plastic spoon 1 paper plate Oreo handout
Make the Oreos look like the handout and place them on the paper plate and label them.
![Page 21: From the Sun… to Pluto… and Beyond…](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013011/568130b0550346895d96c276/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CLIMATE CYCLES Materials
Multicolored mini-marshmellows Dark colored granular material – like M&M’s, chocolate
chips, or coca Core straw made out of a 2liter bottle 1- liter bottle (Hand sanitizer or wash hands if you are going to eat any of the items after the lab.
) Procedure
Discuss how the marshmallows are put in my a handful or two- this is the amount of snowfall for a season. Heavy in winter, less in summer. The M&M’s are a volcanic eruption (ash).
Press down on the layers and then add more “snow” and “ash.” Press down until it is fairly packed
Take the core sample by pressing down with the core straw and examine the core. Share yours with another group and determine the layers and what happened during the “time period.”

LET’S MAKE A CLOUD Materials: Two 2-liter bottles with connected lids 125ml of water Wooden stick matches Flashlights or projector Procedure: See handout

What does it mean to be “alive?”
![Page 24: From the Sun… to Pluto… and Beyond…](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013011/568130b0550346895d96c276/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IT’S ALIVE Materials: Three samples labeled A, B, & C Procedure: Observe the three samples. You may smell,
touch, the samples but not taste them. Record what you observe on the handout.
Get a cup of warm water and pour the water so that each sample is covered with water.
Record your observations on your handout. Wait 5-10 minutes and observe the samples.
