Conduct this EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.
In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
This story map allows students to explore the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students investigate the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
