Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
