Material Detail

Solar Wind and Magnetosphere Interaction Lab: A Cereal Analogy

Solar Wind and Magnetosphere Interaction Lab: A Cereal Analogy

This open-ended laboratory activity is useful in demonstrating how solar wind particles are deflected by the Earth's magnetosphere and how charged particles are aligned within it. After this lesson, students should be able to discuss and describe the components of solar wind particles, explain why the magnetosphere and ionosphere protect the Earth, and explain how moving particles behave (and align) in a magnetic field. Additional links lead to background material, standards, and assessment.
