Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Students will analyze and interpret maps of the average net atmospheric radiation to compare the flow of energy from the Sun toward Earth in different months and for cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw conclusions and support them with evidence.
This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
