Topics

    • Molecules
    • Photons
    • Absorption
    • Light

Learning Goals

    • Explore how light interacts with molecules in our atmosphere
    • Identify that absorption of light depends on the molecule and the type of light
    • Relate the energy of the light to the resulting motion
    • Identify that energy increases from microwave to ultraviolet
    • Predict the motion of a molecule based on the type of light it absorbs
    • Identify how the structure of a molecule affects how it interacts with light
