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

Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.

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

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

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 a visualization video and answer questions on the potential of increasing megadroughts in the southwest and central United States from 1950-2095 using models created by soil moisture data.

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

Students analyze diagrams showing the effects of clouds on Earth’s Radiation and answer the questions that follow. This mini lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between clouds and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy. 

This mini lesson engages students in writing a commentary for a NASA video regarding changes in global temperatures from 1880 to 2017.
