The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.
In this lesson students will calculate the size to distance ratio of the Sun and the Moon from Earth to determine how a solar eclipse can occur.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
Use the Data Literacy Cubes to guide students’ exploration of data to enrich their observations and inferences. This is a flexible resource that may be used with a variety of graphical representations of data. This activity requires a graph for students to evaluate.
The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
