  • Join to access all included materials

In this coronal mass ejections worksheet, students observe a time line of events that took place during a solar storm. Students use the time line to answer 3 questions about the solar storm and the time it took to reach Earth. Students determine how fast the storm traveled per hour and how long a trip to Pluto would take as an extra challenge.
