Students will watch a video on the Greenland Ice Sheet and answer questions.
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
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.
