Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system's absorption and reflection of energy.
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.
Test your knowledge of soil moisture and its effect on global populations. Soil moisture is the amount of water contained
