Students consider the impact of changing conditions on the remote island of Little Diomede, Alaska after they investigate the relationship between seasonal trends in sea ice extent with shortwave and longwave radiation flux described in Earth’s energy budget.

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

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

Students will analyze a graph showing the variation of energy imbalance on Earth over the year along different latitudinal zones and answer the questions that follow.

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.

This activity invites students to model and observe the effect of melting ice sheets (from land) on sea level and the difference between the effect of melting sea-ice to that of melting land ice on sea level.

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.

Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world.
