Description
Do you ever wonder how a greenhouse gas affects the climate, or why the ozone layer is important? Use the sim to explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere.
Sample Learning Goals
- Explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere
- Identify that absorption of light depends on the molecule and the type of light
- Relate the energy of the light to the resulting motion
- Identify that energy increases from microwave to ultraviolet
- Predict the motion of a molecule based on the type of light it absorbs
- Identify how the structure of a molecule affects how it interacts with light
