Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
Students analyze two North Pole orthographic data visualizations produced from soil moisture data. After describing trends in the seasonal thaw of land surfaces, students demonstrate their understanding of Earth’s energy budget by explaining relationships and make predictions about the dataset.
Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
