Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.

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 analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.

Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
