Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
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 mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice.
Students will synthesize information from maps that show population, concentrations of PM2.5, and PM2.5-attributable mortality across the globe in order to draw conclusions about the relationship between particulate pollution and human health.
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
