Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
Students observe seasonal images of Monthly Leaf Area, looking for any changes that are occurring throughout the year.
