Students use albedo values of common surfaces along with photographic images of Earth taken from the International Space Station to make an argument about specific anthropogenic activities that impact Earth’s albedo.

Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.

This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

Use the AirNow.gov website to determine current air quality in US locations, as well as other information.

In this mini lesson, students analyze a bar graph showing the relative forcings from natural and human factors that affect Earth's climate. They use information from this graph to assess the relative importance of these factors.

The Earth System Satellite, help the learner visualize how different Earth system variables change over time. In this lesson, students will graph six points for a location over one year.

The Earth System Satellite Images, help the learner visualize how different Earth system variables change over time, establish cause and effect relationships for a specific variable, identify patterns, and determine relationships among variables over one year.

Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
