Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.
This lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between different cloud heights and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy.
Students observe monthly images of changing vegetation patterns, looking for seasonal changes occurring throughout 2017. These data can be used by students to develop their own models of change.
Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.
This NASA visualization shows sea surface salinity observations (September 2011-September 2014). Students review the video and answer questions.
