Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100. 

Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.

The fires in Greece during the summer of 2007 devastated large tracks of forest and ground cover in this Mediterranean region. Students analyze these data to determine the scale, area, and percentage of the forest impacted by of these fires.

Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

Students will analyze a graph showing the variation of energy imbalance on Earth over the year along different latitudinal zones and answer the questions that follow.

Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world. 

Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region. 

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

Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.

This lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between different cloud heights and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy.
