This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
This activity was developed by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) team as an introductory experience to a series of lessons about water resources on Earth.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
Students will examine how radiation, conduction, and convection work together as a part of Earth’s Energy Budget to heat the atmosphere.
The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.
Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
The Earth System Poster activity walks learners through global patterns and illuminates how each of the spheres is interconnected across the world. We will divide into small groups to look at maps of different parts of the earth system that have been observed by NASA satellites.
This activity is designed to introduce students to geologic processes on Earth and how to identify geologic features in images. It will also introduce students to how scientists use Earth to gain a better understanding of other planetary bodies in the solar system.
