            Description
           | 
          Students use two PhET simulations — Molecules and Light and The Greenhouse Effect — to better understand how atmospheric and greenhouse gases interact with light energy from the Sun and heat energy from the Earth's surface. Activity also includes a short reading about greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect from NOAA. |
