Students investigate the urban heat island effect. In this urban heat island effect lesson, students learn how trees, grass, asphalt, and other things on the school grounds effect temperature. They use the information to generalize it to urban heat waves. They look for patterns in climate data in Los Angeles as part of their investigation.
