NYSLS Lesson Plan: Exploring Greenhouse Gases and IR Active Molecules

This lesson plan focuses on teaching about IR absorption and greenhouse gases, emphasizing the greenhouse effect and its impact on planetary temperature. The lesson covers how the Earth absorbs solar energy and releases heat, with certain gases like nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane absorbing and re-emitting IR radiation. It addresses student preconceptions and misconceptions, aligning with New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSLS). The plan includes engaging activities, exploration of molecular interactions with electromagnetic fields, explanation of energy absorption and release, elaboration on ozone depletion, and evaluation of student understanding of greenhouse gases and their effects. The lesson also touches on the role of homonuclear diatomic molecules and provides vocabulary and materials for effective teaching. Desklib offers a variety of study resources, including past papers and solved assignments, to support students' learning.

Learning – Teaching Plan _Greenhouse Gases IR active molecules
Lesson Overview: the student will teach about the IR absorption and Green gases. The student will also gain knowledge
regarding the effect of a greenhouse. It is the procedure through which radiation from a planet's climate warms the planet's surface
to a temperature. This Lesson will also provide the information to a student regarding that Most of the gas just passes through and
out into space because, in the atmosphere, gas molecules are not able to absorb this energy.

Through this class lesson, the student will
able to understand the meaning of green
gases and how it produces within the
environment
In this lesson, the student will also gain
knowledge regarding the effect of a
greenhouse. It is the procedure through
which radiation from a planet's climate
warms the planet's surface to a
temperature. The earth assimilates sun
oriented vitality, and the vast majority of
this power is later discharged as a warmth.
In this regard, they will learn that earth absorbs
solar energy and most of this energy is later
released as heat or IR radiation. Most of the
gas just passes through and out into space
because, in the atmosphere, gas molecules are
not able to absorb this energy. To increase the
temperature of the planet, several gasses like
nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide,
chlorofluorocarbons, carbons dioxide, methane
absorb IR radiation from the Earth surface and
re-emit it in all directions.

atmosphere such as O2 and N2. It
does not absorb the radiation because
they have not IR active vibrations. In

Elaborate: Student will also get
knowledge regarding another
procedure that Ozone depletion has
main reason is the ozone hole is
manufactured chemicals such as foam
blowing agents, halocarbon, solvents,
refrigerates, etc. These kinds of
elements are transported in the
stratosphere through wind and release
halogen atoms by photodissociation
that is divided into the ozone into
oxygen.
Students will learn thatAs
