Watch the video and have students answer the questions about Earth's cryosphere.
This story map lesson plan allows students to explore ocean circulation patterns as they relate to the world's ocean garbage patches using NASA ocean currents data.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
