GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the Changing Albedo Values phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed.
Explore and connect to protocols in GLOBE related to the cryosphere. Each protocol has related Earth System Data Explorer datasets identified as well.
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
The products of science are explanations and the products of engineering are solutions.
Background information on sea and land ice melt.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
Test your knowledge of soil moisture and its effect on global populations. Soil moisture is the amount of water contained
