Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
Students review a video showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere shortwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012 and answer the questions that follow.
Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.
In this mini lesson, students analyze a bar graph showing the relative forcings from natural and human factors that affect Earth's climate. They use information from this graph to assess the relative importance of these factors.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is affected by many processes including fires, deforestation, and plant respiration. Students will evaluate a Landsat image to determine the rate of carbon dioxide sequestration in a particular area.
