1. 1. PICK UP PURPLE SONG LYRICS FROM OUTSIDE AND READ THROUGH SONG VERSES AND CHORUS…. 2. UNDERLINE, CIRCLE, OR HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANT SMALL OBJECTS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM/PLANET INFO THAT YOU FIND IN EACH CHORUS AND IN EACH VERSE. 3. WE WILL REVIEW THIS FOR LEARNING TARGET POINTS… 4. GOOD LUCK! OUR SPECIAL GUEST OR GUESTS WILL BE ARRIVING LATER TODAY… 5. USE THESE LYRICS AS A WEEKLY STUDY GUIDE-KEEP THESE IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!!!
LIMPERTSTEIN AND MULKEYSTEIN MUSIC LEARNING TARGET #8-BACK TO THE 80'S=SMALL OBJECTS IN SOLAR SYSTEM

2. ATMOSPHERE DEFINITION
A LAYER OF GASES THAT SURROUNDS A PLANET

3. ATMOSPHERE IMPORTANCE…
1. PROTECTS US
2. CONTROLS OUR TEMPERATURES(MAKES THEM JUST RIGHT)

4. ATMOSPHERE COMPOSITION
78% NITROGEN
21% OXYGEN
LESS THAN 1%=OTHER GASES

5. MOST ABUNDANT GAS IN OUR ATMOSPHERE
78% NITROGEN

6. 2ND MOST ABUNDANT GAS IN OUR ATMOSPHERE…
21% OXYGEN

7. AS ALTITUDE INCREASES, AIR PRESSURE DECREASES…
1. AIR PRESSURE IS STRONGEST AT THE EARTH’S SURFACE BECAUSE MORE AIR IS ABOVE YOU.
2. AS YOU MOVE FARTHER AWAY FROM EARTH’S SURFACE, FEWER GAS MOLECULES ARE ABOVE YOU
********GRAVITY PULLS GAS MOLECULES IN THE ATMOSPHERE TOWARDS THE EARTH’S SURFACE, CAUSING AIR PRESSURE

8. TROPOSPHERE
1. LOWEST LAYER
2. WE LIVE HERE

9. TROPOSPHERE
1. DENSEST LAYER
2. WEATHER HAPPENS HERE

10. STRATOSPHERE
1. HOME OF THE “OZONE” LAYER=PROTECTS US BY ABSORBING AND REFLECTING MUCH OF THE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION FROM SPACE AWAY FROM EARTH’S SURFACE
2. AIRPLANES FLY ABOVE THE CLOUDS HERE(SMOOTHER FLIGHT)

11. STRATOSPHERE 1. ABOVE THE TROPOSPHERE(LESS DENSE THAN TROPOSPHERE)
2. UPPER PART HERE WARMER THAN BOTTOM(DUE TO OZONE LAYER)

12. MESOSPHERE 1. COLDEST LAYER
2. ABOVE THE STRATOSPHERE(EVEN LESS DENSE THAN STRATOSPHERE)

13. MESOSPHERE
1. METEORS BURN UP HERE
2. MIDDLE LAYER

14. THERMOSPHERE 1. UPPERMOST LAYER(ABOVE MESOSPHERE)
2. VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES HERE

15. THERMOSPHERE 1. HIGHEST TEMPERATURES, BUT IT DOES NOT FEEL “HOT”
2. PARTICLES HERE MOVE VERY FAST BUT THEY ARE SPACED FAR APART SO THEY DON’T TRANSFER MUCH ENERGY.

16. THERMOSPHERE
1. LOWEST DENSITY OF ANY LAYER
2. MADE UP OF 2 PARTS

17. IONOSPHERE 1. BOTTOM PART OF THERMOSPHERE
2. AURORA BOREALLIS(NORTHERN LIGHTS)
3. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
4. RADIO WAVES

18. EXOSPHERE
1. TOP PART OF THERMOSPHERE
2. CELL PHONES/TV/SATELLITES
