Students review a video showing how the ocean is warmed by solar energy. This is the first video of a four-part series on the water cycle, which follows the journey of water from the ocean to the atmosphere, to the land, and back again to the ocean.
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 will watch a video on the Greenland Ice Sheet and answer questions.
This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
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.
