Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
In this lesson, Observing Earth’s Seasonal Changes, students observe patterns of average snow and ice amounts as they change from one month to another, as well as connect the concepts of the tilt and orbit of the Earth (causing the changing of seasons) with monthly snow/ice data from January 2008
Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
