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

NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.

In this activity, students will learn about sea ice and land ice. They will observe ice melting on a solid surface near a body of water and ice melting in a body of water.

Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.

This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
