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.
Using Data and Images to Understand Albedo
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
Observing Solar Energy
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Students analyze map visualizations representing the amount of Sun’s energy received on the Earth as indicated by the amount that is reflected back to space, known as “albedo”.
Grade Level: 3-5,
6-8,
9-12
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
