Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations. 

Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100. 

Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.

Students analyze four data visualizations focused on the topic of sea level.  They use a jigsaw method to explore and communicate their findings to their peers.

This mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice. 

Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.

Arctic sea ice is the cap of frozen seawater blanketing most of the Arctic Ocean and neighboring seas in wintertime. It follows seasonal patterns of thickening and melting. Students view how the quantity has changed from 1979 through 2018. 

This lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between different cloud heights and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy. 

Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region.
