Channel IV, from a directional scintillator, measures the amount of radiation energy passing through the instrument's window each second. The significant parts of the line are its depressions below the flat parts: the deeper they are, the greater the energy. The depressions come in cycles reflecting the tumbling of the satellite, but some of the energy is recorded when the scintillator is "looking away" from the direction of the radiation. This reveals that the lower part of the Van Allen radiation belt contains particles powerful enough to pass through the shielding around the scintillator...

While similar courses might be worked out in the natural science area, here the whole area might be more profitably changed into a semester divided system, in which students could study certain options depending upon the amount of science or math they had mastered.
