Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.
The Urban Heat Island Implementation Sequence provides a series of lessons and activities for students to learn about the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
