Grade Level: 9-12
Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system's absorption and reflection of energy.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
