Feeling the Heat??

In this lesson students will investigate how the various surfaces have different albedo values. Students will analyze the difference between radiation, conduction, and convection, the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth's system. Students will engage in collecting data, graphing their measurements, and presenting their findings to the class.
