Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
This Lesson Plan provides some generic maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, this Lesson Plan is appropriate for multiple grade bands.
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
