This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
This story map lesson plan allows students to explore global phytoplankton distribution using chlorophyll concentration data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students will investigate the processes that allow phytoplankton populations to thrive, as well as how their role in the carbon cycle impacts the other spheres of the Earth System.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
