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.
Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.
Students will analyze and interpret graphs to compare the flow of (shortwave) energy from the Sun toward China over the course of a year on cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw a conclusion and support it with evidence.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
To investigate the different rates of heating and cooling of certain materials on earth in order to understand the heating dynamics that take place in the Earth’s atmosphere.
