Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.
Grade Level: 6-8
Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.
Students will explore existing CO2 levels at their given location or city. By using Earth System Data Explorer, the teacher will create an animation and line graph of CO2 levels at their location.
This mini lesson provides a video on an ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model of how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe. Students will review the video and answer the following questions.
Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.
