In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
Students will analyze and interpret graphs to compare the flow of (shortwave) energy from the Sun toward China over the course of a year on cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw a conclusion and support it with evidence.
After learning about the different characteristics of satellite data, students will describe the advantages and disadvantages of using two different satellites to study the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Students will identify and describe the relationship between land cover classification and surface temperature as they relate to the urban heat island effect. Students will also describe patterns between population density and the locations of urban heat islands.
Students will analyze how surface (skin) temperatures vary across a community and determine what factors contribute to this variation. Students will describe how human activity can affect the local environment.
This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
