Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100.
Students watch a video explaining albedo and its impact on Earth. The video shows visualizations of albedo across Earth and how it can change. Students will interpret the images in the video and answer questions about albedo.
Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.
This mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
