Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.
Students analyze the data and details of a complicated graph by identifying components and data patterns.
Arctic sea ice is the cap of frozen seawater blanketing most of the Arctic Ocean and neighboring seas in wintertime. It follows seasonal patterns of thickening and melting. Students view how the quantity has changed from 1979 through 2018.
