This
two-part
activity
provides
information
on
seasonal
changes
in
the
mass
balance
of
the
Antarctic
Ice
Sheet.
In
Part
1,
students
use
an
atlas
and
satellite
imagery
to
examine
the
geography
of
the
region
and
identify
seasonal
changes
in
the
boundaries
of
the
ice
sheet.
In
Part
2,
they
will
collect
a
series
of
images
of
the
Antarctic
ice
sheet
covering
a
period
of
several
years,
draw
the
boundaries

In this exercise, students investigate long-term weather variables such as temperature and humidity to determine their affect on the climate of a particular region. They will choose two cities, use an online resource to obtain geographic and climatic information for each, and use a spreadsheet program to produce graphs that compare data for the two cities.

Climographs,
graphic
plots
of
monthly
temperature
and
precipitation,
allow
students
to
see
how
differences
in
insolation
at
various
locations
affect
rates
of
heating
and
cooling.
In
this
activity,
students
use
climographs
to
plot
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude,
calculate
annual
temperature
ranges,
and
relate
unequal
rates
of
heating
and
cooling
to
climate
variations.
They
will
also
