Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
These six graphs show Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations from 1998 - 2018 in a variety of locations: East Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, California Coast, Southeastern US/Gulf of Mexico, Northeastern US and the Scotian Shelf, and the Hawaiian Islands.
Students use albedo values of common surfaces along with photographic images of Earth taken from the International Space Station to make an argument about specific anthropogenic activities that impact Earth’s albedo.
What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.
Test your knowledge of sea level rise and its effect on global populations.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
