Featured Mini Lesson
Changing Albedo and Sea Ice
Students will explore albedo, sea ice and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice.
Explore Albedo Values
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
Seasonal Arctic Albedo
This lesson connects day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region. Students will explore seasonal changes of albedo.
Does Albedo Effect Arctic Populations?
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
