Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.
Educational Resources - Search Tool
Are you searching for resources to use with your students related to Science and Engineering Practices? Review these graphics that will help to hone students' attention to the specific practices in science and how they relate to investigating, sense-making, and critiquing of data.
Through guided inquiry, students will identify interactions of the four major scientific spheres on Earth: biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. They will then identify how these systems are represented and interact in their classroom aquarium.
Our Earth is a dynamic system with diverse subsystems that interact in complex ways. Questions that scientists have about the Earth as a System may include the following. As you learn more about the Earth System, reflect on these questions.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
In this activity, students investigate three different soil samples with varying moisture content. They use a soil moisture probe to determine the percentage (by volume) of water in each of the soil samples.
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, story maps, for use in educational settings.
