Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
Students analyze and compare satellite data of Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations with Sea Surface Temperatures, beginning with the North Atlantic region, while answering questions about the global patterns of these phenomenon.
Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.
Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.
Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.
Students track weather over time and create a bar chart to track their data.
Students will engage in a collaborative learning routine as they explore slides that show how the development of public transportation infrastructure changed the land in Woodlawn, Maryland.
