How much do you know about the frozen poles of our home planet?
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
