Conduct this EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
The Urban Heat Island Implementation Sequence provides a series of lessons and activities for students to learn about the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
