Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
Students watch a video and answer questions on Dr. Patrick Taylor (Atmospheric Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center) as he discusses the study of clouds and Earth's energy budget by analyzing data from Low Earth Orbit satellites.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
