Background information on sea and land ice melt.
Educational Resources - Search Tool
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Are you looking for a storyline about using albedo values to measure change in the cryosphere using NASA data? Consider using the following resources in your classroom today!
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.
This video explains what a Scientifically-Interesting Story is.
This mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice.
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 will practice constructing claims using evidence and reasoning.
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, story maps, for use in educational settings.
