Albedo
4/13 WHOT Teaching Point:
Objective: Identify how the earth’s atmosphere regulates temperature
Responsibilities: All 3rd Quarter Work Turned in by Friday. GHG Effect Reading Q’s Due at end of
period.
***It will not show up on 3rd quarter’s report card but is the last chance to turn in.
(GHG)Greenhouse Gases – Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat in. (Think of a blanket) H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O
Atmosphere absorbs almost all non-visible light.
UV light is very high energy! (think sunburns)
Greenhouse Gas Reading
#1
Factors that influence the Greenhouse effect: Amount of sun that makes it to the surface. Amount of Greenhouse gases (CO2, H2O, CH4,
N2O) Amount of sunlight absorbed/reflected (albedo)
#3
Copy these 4 diagrams down in your notebook

Nitrogen (N2) 78%
Oxygen (O2) 21% Argon (Ar) 1% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 0.038%
Water Vapor (H20) 0-4%
Methane (CH4) trace
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) trace
Ozone (O3) trace Nitrogen oxides trace (NO, NO2, N2O)

Why you should wear sunscreen.
How are Greenhouse Gases like blanket.
WHOT Q
4/14 WHOT Teaching Point:
• Objective: Model, analyze, and describe data for the greenhouse effect.
Responsibilities: Analysis Questions Due Tomorrow
***Extra Credit Due Friday!!!
Warm up - The experiment
If you leave the light on for 20 minutes and come back to measure the temperatures…
Would the temperature…A. Both increase the same.B. Air would increase more.C. CO2 would increase
more.WHY?
Air CO2
Describe the Data
1. Describe in detail the general trend in temperature over time that was observed. This includes the trend when the light is on as well as when it is off.

Greenhouse Gases
4/15 WHOT Teaching Point:
• Objective: Trace the different forms of carbon, and their pathways around the planet.
Responsibilities: Carbon Stations 1 or 2 completed.
(Extra Credit Due Friday!!!)
With your neighbor come up with at least 3 different forms of carbon.
So just where is carbon on the planet???
Warm up
Carbon on the move
Tape in a map and create headings as demo’d
You will add to this page as you go through each station.
Carbon on the moveWhere on Earth?
Forms of Carbon:CO2 – Carbon Dioxide
Carbon on the moveActivity __“This experiment demonstrates the process in nature where carbon moves from _____________ to ________________.”
Create a Carbon question based on your activity.

Responsibilities: Carbon Stations 1 - 3 completed.
(Extra Credit Due Friday!!!)
EVERY activity will start with this phrase.

Before the lab…
New lab technique!!!
How to make a funnel!
Fold twice, open once corner.
You will use this to strain the potting soil
Key: NO POTTING SOIL DOWN THE DRAIN… Zero
Create a Carbon question based on your activity.

Activity 4
EVERY activity will start with this phrase.
Carbon on the moveActivity __“This experiment demonstrates the process in nature where carbon moves from _____________ to ________________.”
The Arctic is warming at almost twice the rate of the rest of the world.
Difference in 2001-2005 average temperature distribution compared with the 1951-1980 mean temperature distribution.
Climate Change Impacts on Snow and Ice
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Number of Shakes
Artis Rams/iStockSnow influences climate because of its insulating properties and because it reflects sunlight.
Snow and ice in the Northern Hemisphere are melting, especially in the Arctic.
SNOW
Decreasing Snow Cover
Snow cover has declined in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in spring and summer. Mean monthly snow cover is decreasing by about 1.3% per decade.
Northern Hemisphere Spring Snow
Snow is also melting earlier in the spring, increasing the snow-free period in the Arctic regions.
This changes the average albedo. (decreasing)
This change may significantly alter the overall planetary albedo, causing even further warming (positive feedback effect).
Snow Outlook for the Future
Yellow to red is less snowBlue is increased snow
The snow line (minimum elevation for snow cover in the mountains) is projected to rise in many mountain areas.
Major reductions in snow cover are projected for mid-latitudes by the end of the this century (2100).

1. What land surface types absorbed/reflefted the most incoming radiation
The Grassland (.20 albedo) absorbed the most radiation at 3.14% of total radiation compared to the desert (.30) which reflected 8.14% of radiation.
Use Data
So how does albedo affect climate?
Name something with a high albedo, Name something with a low albedo
