Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
Grade Level: 3-5
Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
Students watch a video explaining albedo and its impact on Earth. The video shows visualizations of albedo across Earth and how it can change. Students will interpret the images in the video and answer questions about albedo.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models. Building from an original GLOBE lesson, this resource features Google Slide and Jamboard to assist in both face-to-face and virtual learning.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
