Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.

Students can interact with NASA data to build a custom visualizations of local, regional, or global plant growth patterns over time, using the Earth System Data Explorer to generate plots of satellite data as they develop models of this phenomenon.

Students will explore the relationship between Nitrogen Dioxide and Precipitation in Earth's atmosphere. They will explore the data provided, make a claim, and complete a slide guided by a rubric.

Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.

Students analyze map visualizations representing the amount of Sun’s energy received on the Earth as indicated by the amount that is reflected back to space, known as “albedo”.

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

Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.

Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
