Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.

This mini-lesson features time-series graphs of mean salinity at the surface for the Arctic and Antarctic regions. A series of questions guides students in their analysis.

Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations. 

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 will watch a video on the Greenland Ice Sheet and answer questions.

Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.

Students watch the video Frozen Earth and answer the following questions that discuss how ice helps moderate the planet's temperature using NASA satellites.

Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
