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.
This learning activity uses data acquired by the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter, a joint project of NASA and the French Space Agency, to investigate the relationship between the topography of a sea-floor feature and the topography of the overlying sea surface.
The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.
Background information on ocean circulation.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Learn about the different cloud types and their names. Match cloud photos and names by cloud type and for all types. Evaluate the types of clouds represented in various data displays.
Background information on the El Nino Southern Oscillation or ENSO.
Explore and connect to the GLOBE Rivers and Lakes protocol bundle.
Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
