The Greenhouse Gas Simulation

This simulation is from the PhET website.  The learning goals of this simulation are:
  • Describe the effect of greenhouse gases on photons and the temperature
  • Describe the effect of clouds on photons and the temperature
  • Compare the effect of greenhouse gases to the effect of glass panes
  • Describe the interaction of photons with atmospheric gases
  • Explain why greenhouse gases affect the temperature
