Creation of Urban Heat Islands StoryMap
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
This StoryMap allows students to explore the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data in a 5 E-learning cycle.
Earth's Energy Budget StoryMap
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
In this StoryMap students will learn about the different components of the Earth's Energy Budget, where in the Earth System energy is being absorbed and reflected, and how features of the Earth such as clouds, aerosols, and greenhouse gases, can cause variations in the flow of energy into and out
Patterns in Earth's Surface Temperature
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students will analyze how surface (skin) temperatures vary across a community and determine what factors contribute to this variation. Students will describe how human activity can affect the local environment.
Human Impact and the Creation of Urban Heat Islands
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Students will identify and describe the relationship between land cover classification and surface temperature as they relate to the urban heat island effect. Students will also describe patterns between population density and the locations of urban heat islands.
Exploring the Tradeoffs of Surface Temperature Models
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
After learning about the different characteristics of satellite data, students will describe the advantages and disadvantages of using two different satellites to study the Urban Heat Island Effect.
