This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Students review Earth System phenomena that are affected by soil moisture. They analyze and evaluate maps of seasonal global surface air temperature and soil moisture data from NASA satellites. Building from their observations, students will select a location in the U.S.
In this activity, students investigate three different soil samples with varying moisture content. They use a soil moisture probe to determine the percentage (by volume) of water in each of the soil samples.
Students will describe how the spread of COVID-19 is affected by population density and explain why patterns in the spread of COVID-19 are happening over time.
