This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces. 

In this activity, students explore the Urban Heat Island Effect phenomenon by collecting temperatures of different materials with respect to their locations.  

Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.

This activity was developed by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) team as an introductory experience to a series of lessons about water resources on Earth.
