Compare pictures of different volcanoes. Then visit NASA's Space Place to learn about volcanoes and answer questions about volcanic eruptions.
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.
Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
