In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.
Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.
Hands-on demonstration of the El Niño Effect, trade winds, and upwelling provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
