In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model.
This story map lesson plan allows students to explore global phytoplankton distribution using chlorophyll concentration data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students will investigate the processes that allow phytoplankton populations to thrive, as well as how their role in the carbon cycle impacts the other spheres of the Earth System.
In this activity, students will compare the methods scientists use to study the Sun, including drawings made during a total solar eclipse in the 1860’s, modern coronagraphs, and advanced imagery gathered by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
