This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
Students will explore the relationship between Nitrogen Dioxide and Precipitation in Earth's atmosphere. They will explore the data provided, make a claim, and complete a slide guided by a rubric.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
