In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018. 

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.
