In this mini lesson, students use in-water profiles of historical ocean data to analyze how sea surface salinity varies with depth.
Students analyze and compare satellite data of Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations with Sea Surface Temperatures, beginning with the North Atlantic region, while answering questions about the global patterns of these phenomenon.
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 analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world.
Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.
Learners will analyze and interpret a box plot and evaluate the spread of the data. Learners will compare it with a different visualization of the data to see how the two compare, discuss the limitations of the two types of data displays and formulate questions.
Compare a histogram and map to determine the differences in the information conveyed in each data display.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
