Beat the Uncertainty – Instructions
You and your fellow players are the leaders—citizens, policymakers, business leaders, nonprofit leaders,
and researchers—of a coastal city. You are excited about the potential to make the city a better place, but you also facing many challenges. One of these is climate change.

Effect of Solar Wind on the Geomagnetic Field
To monitor changes in the earth’s magnetic field and relate these changes to solar events such as
flares. Many variations of this design are in use by amateurs because of its simplicity, but now with the availability of inexpensive and sensitive Hall-effect sensors that easily interface to home computers, it should be possible to make more quantitative measurements of changes in the geomagnetic field due to solar wind. By monitoring changes in the geomagnetic field, aurorae and related effects can be forecast and studied.

Measuring the Solar Constant
With this activity, we will let solar radiation raise the temperature of a measured quantity of water. From the observation of how much time is required for the temperature change, we can calculate the amount of energy absorbed by the water and then relate this to the energy output of the Sun.
