Curated OER
Earth's Atmosphere
In this atmosphere worksheet, students will fill in information about each of the earth's atmospheric layers, including the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere.
Curated OER
Linkages Between Surface Temperature And Tropospheric Ozone
Students organize and analyze data regarding changes in tropospheric ozone and then hypothesize about the consequences of these changes.
Curated OER
Air Quality Issues
Young scholars study and chart the levels of the atmosphere. They determine volume and location of the whole in the ozone layer by problem solving and drawing Antarctica.
Curated OER
Physical Characteristics of the Troposphere
Students lexplore environmental trends in the troposphere- temperature, dew point, pressure and wind speed- by checking their hypotheses against data collected by weather balloons.

Skydive From the Stratosphere
This simulation allows you to experience Joe Kittinger's famous 1960 skydiving feat. As you ascend the troposphere and stratosphere you can view changes in several atmospheric conditions. The challenge will be surviving the leap once you...
