Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Use the AirNow.gov website to determine current air quality in US locations, as well as other information.
Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
By investigating the data presented in a model that displays extreme summer air temperatures, students explain energy transfer in the Earth system and consider the impact of excessive heat on local communities.
