Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Guided by the 5E model, this lesson allows students to work together to uncover how changes in sea ice extent in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are connected to Earth’s energy budget.
Students observe monthly images of changing vegetation patterns, looking for seasonal changes occurring throughout 2017. These data can be used by students to develop their own models of change.
