Conduct this EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
Students will observe monthly satellite data of the North Atlantic to identify relationships among key science variables that include sea surface salinity (SS), air temperature at the ocean surface (AT), sea surface temperature (ST), evaporation (EV), precipitation (PT), and evaporation minus pre
Students will analyze and interpret graphs to compare the flow of (shortwave) energy from the Sun toward China over the course of a year on cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw a conclusion and support it with evidence.
