LAB ACTIVITY: HEAT, TEMPERATURE AND CONDUCTION
gml.noaa.gov2 Student Sheet 2 Cooling things by conduction works the same way as warming. This time, a hot metal spoon is put in room-temperature water. The faster-moving atoms in the spoon contact the slower-moving molecules in the water. The atoms in the spoon transfer some of their energy to the molecules in the water. The spoon will get

gml.noaa.govability to control temperature. The condition of the body's temperature is the information fed back to the brain, which is the controller. If the temperature is high, the body sweats in order to cool down. Since the process of sweating is done to stop the temperature change, this is a negative feedback.

Describe where ultraviolet is found on the EMS compared to the other six forms of radiation. In your description, compare and contrast its wavelength, frequency and energy with those of other regions of the EMS. 3.
TEACHER BACKGROUND: SPECIFICS OF HEAT TRANSFER
gml.noaa.govIn a new scenario, a metal can containing hot water is placed in a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. Heat is transferred from the hot water to the cold water until both samples have the same temperature. The transfer of heat from the hot water through the metal can to the cold water is referred to as conduction.

gml.noaa.govBelow that is a liquid outer core of nickel and iron. At the center of Earth is a solid inner core of nickel and iron. The Hydrosphere-- contains all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water of the planet. It ranges from 10 to 20 kilometers in thickness. The hydrosphere extends from Earth's surface
MODELING EARTH’S ATMOSPHERIC
gml.noaa.govEarth's surface. Measure and draw a line 80 mm from the Earth's surface. Label this layer mesosphere. Color it red. Draw pictures to help show characteristics. Draw the ionosphere. This is the fourth layer of the atmosphere. It extends 80km-400km from the surface. Label it the ionosphere and color it pink.
TEACHER BACKGROUND: NATURAL CLIMATE CHANGE
gml.noaa.govmeans cooler summers and milder winters. Slow changes in the Earth’s orbit lead to small but climatically important changes in the strength of the seasons over tens of thousands of years. Climate feedbacks amplify these small changes, thereby producing ice ages. Solar variations - The Sun is the source of energy for the Earth’s climate system.
