The Earth System Poster activity walks learners through global patterns and illuminates how each of the spheres is interconnected across the world. We will divide into small groups to look at maps of different parts of the earth system that have been observed by NASA satellites.
Students analyze and compare satellite data of Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations with Sea Surface Temperatures, beginning with the North Atlantic region, while answering questions about the global patterns of these phenomenon.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
Students use albedo values of common surfaces along with photographic images of Earth taken from the International Space Station to make an argument about specific anthropogenic activities that impact Earth’s albedo.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
