Students learn how to estimate the "energy efficiency" of photosynthesis, or the amount of energy that plants absorb for any given location on Earth. This is the ratio of the amount of energy stored to the amount of light energy absorbed and is used to evaluate and model photosynthesis efficiency.
By investigating the data presented in a model that displays extreme summer air temperatures, students explain energy transfer in the Earth system and consider the impact of excessive heat on local communities.
Students analyze the data and details of a complicated graph by identifying components and data patterns.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
Conduct this EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.
