Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
The Great Smoky Mountains have a unique climate and weather pattern. Students will review a Landsat image and read about the history of the area and why Native Americans called the area “Shaconage.” Then they will answer the questions about what caused the unusual “blue smoke.”
Students will synthesize information from maps that show population, concentrations of PM2.5, and PM2.5-attributable mortality across the globe in order to draw conclusions about the relationship between particulate pollution and human health.
Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
