Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- If resources are available and time allows, have students repeat the experiments shown in the video to see the results for themselves.
- See the how-to video that accompanies this video if you plan to repeat the experiments.
- Note that you may need additional tools to recreate this experiment, however, the experiments as seen in the video are a great example if you don't have time and resources to conduct them as a class.
About the Content
- By considering the techniques of different painters and how they worked with light and introducing two experiments to learn more about absorption and reflection, this video does a great job of introducing how and why the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm.
- This resource presents robust science in a very clear and fun way.
- Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
About the Pedagogy
- This is a great science-focused video that will help students better understand light, wavelengths, and why our infrared light is absorbed by our atmosphere.
- Consider pausing the video to check for comprehension as new concepts, ideas, and vocabulary are introduced.
- This resource could serve as a really useful introduction to a unit on the nature of light and how waves function.
- With the framing based on how painters use light in their work, this video could also be show in an art class or used in a collaboration between a science and art class.
