Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12

This lesson plan provides some generic maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cube. Because it is a differentiated resource, this lesson plan is appropriate for multiple grade bands. 

Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12

The Earth System Satellite Images, help the learner visualize how different Earth system variables change over time, establish cause and effect relationships for a specific variable, identify patterns, and determine relationships among variables over one year.

Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12

Students will explore the relationship between Nitrogen Dioxide and Precipitation in Earth's atmosphere. They will explore the data provided, make a claim, and complete a slide guided by a rubric.

Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12

The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.  

Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12

Students analyze and compare satellite data of Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations with Sea Surface Temperatures, beginning with the North Atlantic region, while answering questions about the global patterns of these phenomenon.

These data resources are designed to help teachers integrate authentic NASA data into their lessons to support problem-based learning (PBL) and other data-rich lessons. These education tools are useful to address data literacy in the Earth Science classroom.
