Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
Students watch a video explaining albedo and its impact on Earth. The video shows visualizations of albedo across Earth and how it can change. Students will interpret the images in the video and answer questions about albedo.
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.
