Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Explore the energy and matter cycles found within the Earth System.
Students analyze two North Pole orthographic data visualizations produced from soil moisture data. After describing trends in the seasonal thaw of land surfaces, students demonstrate their understanding of Earth’s energy budget by explaining relationships and make predictions about the dataset.
In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018.
Explore a variety of NASA resources.
Air, Water, Land, & Life: A Global Perspective
Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
