The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.
Interpret the map, or model, to find patterns in the occurrence of tropical cyclones from 1842 through 2018.
This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
Students identify patterns in chlorophyll concentration data to formulate their explanations of phytoplankton distribution.
This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands.
Students will engage in a collaborative learning routine as they explore slides that show how the development of public transportation infrastructure changed the land in Woodlawn, Maryland. They will make observations of a satellite image and a photo from the ground as well as read background information on the impact of urbanization.
In this activity, you will use an inexpensive spectrophotometer* to test how light at different visible wavelengths (blue, green, red) is transmitted, or absorbed, through four different colored water samples.
Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
