Fall 2026 Webinars Series

1. STEM Career Connections with Supplemental Lesson Plan 
   Tuesday, October 27, 2026 @ 7pm ET
   Help your students see themselves as scientists! Explore STEM Career Connection lessons which include scientist background info, a short video, and activities where students match their own skills with those of a real scientist. The supplemental lesson plan uses a jigsaw activity where students share insights about different careers, connect their skills to the Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices, and design a badge depicting themselves as future STEM professionals.
2. Mapping Earth Science Data with My NASA Data
   Tuesday, November 3, 2026 @ 7pm ET
   My NASA Data's visualization tool, the Earth System Data Explorer (ESDE), provides over sixty Earth science datasets and a variety of analysis tools. This session will provide an introduction on how to access the data and an in depth focus on the tools related to mapped data. It includes comparing two maps for the same area with different data in side-by-side mode or using a slider. It also covers how to generate and download images that can be used for lesson plans, projects, or animations.
3. Time Series Graphs with My NASA Data
   Tuesday, December 1, 2026 @ 7pm ET
   My NASA Data's visualization, the Earth System Data Explorer (ESDE), provides over sixty Earth science datasets and a variety of analysis tools. This session will provide an introduction on how to access the data and an in depth focus on the time series data tools. It includes generating single or double line plots for one or two variables over time for your chosen location. In addition, it covers how to download time series data for up to four different variables. Finally, you will be guided through the Create a Climograph for My Location lesson plan to create a custom climograph using the downloaded data.
4. Exploring Urban Sprawl with My NASA Data
   Tuesday, December 15, 2026 @ 7pm ET
   Explore NASA satellite observations to analyze the environmental and systemic impacts of land cover and land use change, specifically driven by urban sprawl. This webinar demonstrates hands-on, inquiry-based approaches for K–12 classrooms, including "Satellite Detective" image analyses, Cause-and-Effect card sorting across Earth spheres, and using building bricks to help grades 3-5 learners visualize satellite pixel data and quantify changes in natural versus built land cover, with extended NASA satellite data exploration and analysis opportunities for grades 6-12 learners.

Enhance your teaching strategies with NASA's cutting-edge resources and elevate your science lessons to the next level!
