Activity | Grades K-8 | This hands-on activity guides students in crafting an aurora bracelet to learn how atmospheric gases create the northern lights, providing a useful tool for Earth science and STEM lessons. Educators can apply this resource to explore energy, waves, and heliophysics topics like the solar wind and magnetic fields. Students will use the project to visually model and differentiate between the distinct colors produced by various gases in the atmosphere.
