Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes. 

For over 20 years, satellite instruments have measured the sea surface height of our ever-changing oceans.  This video of images shows the complicated patterns of rising and falling ocean levels across the globe from 1993 to 2015.

Students consider the impact of changing conditions on the remote island of Little Diomede, Alaska after they investigate the relationship between seasonal trends in sea ice extent with shortwave and longwave radiation flux described in Earth’s energy budget.

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

Students analyze four data visualizations focused on the topic of sea level.  They use a jigsaw method to explore and communicate their findings to their peers.
