Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
Students review a video showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere shortwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012 and answer the questions that follow.
Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is affected by many processes including fires, deforestation, and plant respiration. Students will evaluate a Landsat image to determine the rate of carbon dioxide sequestration in a particular area.
Students review a video showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere shortwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012 and answer the questions that follow.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
Students review different maps of wind trajectories to determine to origins of mud-laden rain in the Pacific Northwest.
Students analyze the data and details of a complicated graph by identifying components and data patterns.
Learners will analyze and interpret a box plot and evaluate the spread of the data. Learners will compare it with a different visualization of the data to see how the two compare, discuss the limitations of the two types of data displays and formulate questions.
