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.

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

Students will analyze a graph showing the variation of energy imbalance on Earth over the year along different latitudinal zones and answer the questions that follow.

Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.

This mini lesson engages students in writing a commentary for a NASA video regarding changes in global temperatures from 1880 to 2017.
