This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
