How much do you know about the frozen poles of our home planet?
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Students watch the video Frozen Earth and answer the following questions that discuss how ice helps moderate the planet's temperature using NASA satellites.
Students observe seasonal images of Monthly Leaf Area, looking for any changes that are occurring throughout the year.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
The advance-and-retreat cycle of snow cover drastically changes the whiteness and brightness of Earth. Using two maps created using NASA satellite data for 2017, students review the seasonal differences of snow and ice extent and answer questions on their observations.
Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
