Grade Level: 6-8
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
This story map allows students to explore the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students investigate the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
