Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.

This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands. 

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

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

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.

Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.

Students watch a visualization video and answer questions on the potential of increasing megadroughts in the southwest and central United States from 1950-2095 using models created by soil moisture data.

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