Solar Storms-Fractions and Percentages

In this solar storms worksheet, students read about the correlation between different astronomical events to find patters and new 'laws' of nature. Students use given statistical information about solar flares and coronal mass ejections...

In this geometric calculations of solar storms worksheet, learners use a diagram indicating the location of 2 STEREO satellites, the earth and the sun to calculate the distance between a Coronal Mass Ejection and the Earth. They use...

In this solar storms worksheet, students use an on line source to read newspaper stories about scientific theories and hypothesis related to space weather phenomena. Students answer 7 questions about past solar storms and compare ideas...

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...

In this solar storm timeline, students read about a series of events that took place in space beginning with a solar flare. Students gather the information and create a time line of events mentioned. They determine the length of time it...

In this sequences and probabilities learning exercise, students read about solar storms and determine the probability that none of the events occurred on the same day.

In this solar storm instructional activity, students are given three equations and they  calculate the magnetic pressure and the particle pressure of a solar storm. They also determine the distance to the magnetopause of the...

Did you know our sun has the power to make telegraphs work and cell phones cease to work? Show a video that explains solar storms and their impact on us. It describes what solar storms are, when and why they happen, and the good and...

Watch and find out how NASA used two satellites orbiting the sun to capture amazing information about solar storms. You'll learn how these satellites were used and what they are able to tell us about our sun. This is an interesting clip!

Tornadoes and hurricanes and blizzards, oh my! Severe storms are always occurring somewhere on the planet. By reading through these slides, learners discover the characteristics of each type. Have them do this as homework and then take...
