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.
Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is affected by many processes including fires, deforestation, and plant respiration. Students will evaluate a Landsat image to determine the rate of carbon dioxide sequestration in a particular area.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
