Students analyze four data visualizations focused on the topic of sea level.  They use a jigsaw method to explore and communicate their findings to their peers.

Through guided inquiry, students will identify interactions of the four major scientific spheres on Earth: biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. They will then identify how these systems are represented and interact in their classroom aquarium.

Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.

Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
