Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

In this 5Es lesson, students will uncover how changes in global air quality have impacted human health in cities between 2000 and 2019.

In this 5E’s lesson, students observe maps that show smoke and AOD levels surrounding Fresno, California at the time when the 2020 Creek Fire was burning. Students construct a claim that identifies a relationship between fire-related data and air quality data.

NASA makes observations and collects data about ozone in the Great Lakes region. Read about the research and analyze related data.

Students watch videos and/or review articles related to particulate matter and how this pollutant is monitored and measured, then provide their understanding individually or in groups.

Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.

Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.

Students watch videos and review articles related to ozone as a pollutant at ground level, and how ozone impacts environment, then provide their understanding in groups.

Students watch a 28-minute video on NASA's involvement in fighting wildfires.

Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.
