Students will identify and describe the relationship between watersheds and phytoplankton distribution.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to seasonal chlorophyll concentration as it relates to net radiation using NASA's Aqua satellite. Students will examine the model and answer the questions.
In this activity, you will use an inexpensive spectrophotometer* to test how light at different visible wavelengths (blue, green, red) is transmitted, or absorbed, through four different colored water samples.
Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system's absorption and reflection of energy.
