This mini-lesson guides students' observations of soil moisture anomalies (how much the moisture content was above or below the norm) for the continental US in May 2018.

Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.

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

This investigation is part of the NASA: Mission Geography Module "What are the causes and consequences of climate change?" that guides students through explorations in climatic variability and evidence for global climate change.
