Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
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.
Exploring salinity patterns is a great way to better understand the relationships between the water cycle, ocean circulation, and climate. In this mini lesson, students analyze sea surface salinity mapped plots created from the Earth System Data Explorer, paired with questions (and answers) from the Aquarius Mission.

In this mini lesson, students use in-water profiles of historical ocean data to analyze how sea surface salinity varies with depth.
Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world.
Use the AirNow.gov website to determine current air quality in US locations, as well as other information.
Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.
This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to seasonal chlorophyll concentration as it relates to net radiation using NASA's Aqua satellite. Students will examine the model and answer the questions.
