Conduct this modified EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.
In this activity, students explore three indicators of drought are: soil moisture, lack of precipitation, and decreased streamflows. Students investigate each of these parameters develop a sense for the effects of drought on land.
In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
To investigate the different rates of heating and cooling of certain materials on earth in order to understand the heating dynamics that take place in the Earth’s atmosphere.
In this activity, students explore the Urban Heat Island Effect phenomenon by collecting temperatures of different materials with respect to their locations.
This activity invites students to model and observe the effect of melting ice sheets (from land) on sea level and the difference between the effect of melting sea-ice to that of melting land ice on sea level.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
