Unless otherwise noted, all images are courtesy of SETI Institute. 1. Introduction In this activity, Cadettes will observe how the greenhouse effect can change an atmosphere on Mars or on Earth. They will “Think like a scientist. Be a scientist!” 2. Science Objectives You will: • construct models to test ideas about processes that cannot be directly studied on Earth or Mars; • appreciate that the atmosphere is a large and complex system, so experiments concerning it are difficult to perform; and • use skills you have learned about atmospheric composition and apply that knowledge to new situations. 3. Materials For each group of 4–6 Cadettes. • [2] 2 liter (0.5 gal) clear soda bottles with labels removed and tops cut off. These are the Atmosphere Model Chambers. Advance preparation required (see page 2). • [1] pair of scissors for constructing a set of Atmosphere Model Chambers • [1] black permanent marker for constructing a set of Atmosphere Model Chambers • [2] identical thermometers, one for each chamber; view on Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/lkrvzvq • sufficient cardboard to prepare backing for each thermometer • 5–10 cm (about 4 in) of clear tape to attach thermometers to cardboard and to inside of each chamber • [1] piece of plastic wrap approximately 15 cm x 15 cm (6 x 6 in) • [1] rubber band large enough to fit the circumference of chamber and secure plastic wrap • chart of electromagnetic spectrum of light (EMS); print in advance • 250-watt infrared heat lamp (bulb) in a fixture with hood.

  • Invasive Plants in Your Backyard!
    Invasive Plants In Your Backyard! A Guide to Their Identification and Control new expanded edition Do you know what plants are growing in your yard? Chances are very good that along with your favorite flowers and shrubs, there are non‐native invasives on your property. Non‐native invasives are aggressive exotic plants introduced intentionally for their ornamental value, or accidentally by hitchhiking with people or products. They thrive in our growing conditions, and with no natural enemies have nothing to check their rapid spread. The environmental costs of invasives are great – they crowd out native vegetation and reduce biological diversity, can change how entire ecosystems function, and pose a threat Invasive Morrow’s honeysuckle (S. Leicht, to endangered species. University of Connecticut, bugwood.org) Several organizations in Connecticut are hard at work preventing the spread of invasives, including the Invasive Plant Council, the Invasive Plant Working Group, and the Invasive Plant Atlas of New England. They maintain an official list of invasive and potentially invasive plants, promote invasives eradication, and have helped establish legislation restricting the sale of invasives. Should I be concerned about invasives on my property? Invasive plants can be a major nuisance right in your own backyard. They can kill your favorite trees, show up in your gardens, and overrun your lawn. And, because it can be costly to remove them, they can even lower the value of your property. What’s more, invasive plants can escape to nearby parks, open spaces and natural areas. What should I do if there are invasives on my property? If you find invasive plants on your property they should be removed before the infestation worsens.
