In this activity, students explore the Urban Heat Island Effect phenomenon by collecting temperatures of different materials with respect to their locations. This activity was modified from The NASA PUMAS Collection's "What makes cities hot?
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Students identify and classify kinds of land cover (such as vegetation, urban areas, water, and bare soil) in Landsat satellite images of Phoenix, Arizona taken in 1984 and 2018.
