Grade Level: 9-12
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students will analyze and interpret maps of the average net atmospheric radiation to compare the flow of energy from the Sun toward Earth in different months and for cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw conclusions and support them with evidence.
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
