This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
Students use albedo values of common surfaces along with photographic images of Earth taken from the International Space Station to make an argument about specific anthropogenic activities that impact Earth’s albedo.
