Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
In this NASA-JPL lesson, students create a model of a volcano, produce and record lava flows, and interpret geologic history through volcano formation and excavation.
Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
