Positive Feedback - Arctic Albedo
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
Changing Albedo Lab
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Albedo Card Sort
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
Astronaut Pictures: Claim, Evidence & Reasoning
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students use albedo values of common surfaces along with photographic images of Earth taken from the International Space Station to make an argument about specific anthropogenic activities that impact Earth’s albedo.
Energy Absorption on the School Yard (Lab Activity)
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
