Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.
Several heat domes have occurred over the last few summers and around the world. This lesson provides one example from 2021 in Portland, Oregon, with temperature and ozone data.
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.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
