In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sunās corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
In this mini lesson, students analyze a bar graph showing the relative forcings from natural and human factors that affect Earth's climate. They use information from this graph to assess the relative importance of these factors.
