Creation of Urban Heat Islands Story Map
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
This story map allows students to explore the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data in a 5 E-learning cycle.
Sea Ice and the Earth System Story Map
Grade Level: 6-8, 9-12
Using various visualizations (i.e., images, charts, and graphs), students will explore changes in sea ice extent as it relates to other spheres within the Earth System. This story map is intended to be used with students who have access to a computing device in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting.
Modeling Cloud Cover
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
This activity will help students better understand and practice estimating percent cloud cover.
Cloud Sort Activity
Grade Level: 3-5, 6-8
Learn about the different cloud types and their names. Match cloud photos and names by cloud type and for all types. Evaluate the types of clouds represented in various data displays.
Creating Images from Numbers
Grade Level: 6-8
Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.
Creating and Interpreting Images as Models
Grade Level: 9-12
Information from satellites if often used to display information about objects. This information can include how things appear, as well as their contents. Explore how pixel data sequences can be used to create an image and interpret it.
