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.
Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.
Students will identify and describe the relationship between watersheds and phytoplankton distribution.
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.
Using various visualizations (i.e., images, charts, and graphs), students will explore changes in sea ice extent as it relates to other spheres within the Earth System. This story map is intended to be used with students who have access to a computing device in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting.
